The BMW Isetta, a little smaller than the Smart For Two, was lots of fun
in the '50s and '60s. It would probably have been more popular and more
widely sold with a bigger engine. One was hit from behind at an
intersection and went airborne; landed across the street on the
sidewalk. Minor injuries to the driver IIRC.

At the Nissan dealership to drive pickups yesterday I talked him into letting
us drive the Nissan Leaf electric car. I know you old bastards all hate
anything new and different but you need to go out and try one.
Yes its small but the seating area is about the same as my Jetta.
No its not tinny or cheap feeling.
Yes its VERY quiet.
Its not slow, about the same as my Jetta.
100 mile rated range, the kid at the dealership has one and says 80 is more
likely. I enjoyed watching the range meter count up while coasting. We went 6
miles on 3 miles of capacity.
If I could get my employer to put in a charging station I'd seriously consider
one...
