Here's your chance to test-drive an escape pod exciting new car! From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Oct. 5-7 at the Whole Foods Midtown on Ponce, you can strap yourself into a smart fortwo -- "a small car with a big urban solution" -- and whiz around a closed course. Picking up where the Mini Cooper left off and The Italian Job failed, this machine boasts a safe and fuel-efficient ride.
The event will be the car's first test in the United States and is free. For specs and more info, click here.

I saw one of those driving around Ga Tech yesterday. I'd like to get one, but then I remembered this and imagined rush hour in the downtown connector. oy.

The website says the thing is designed for 40mpg??? Good God. Blowing $12K on half a car/pocket deathtrap and only getting 40mpg? Next thing they'll be telling us is that the cover charge at the Clermont is a real steal! Save your dignity. Buy a Japanese coupe and try biking now and then.
Mr. Acworth Beach, I heard they're amphibious. Come on, you know you're tempted.
Come on, Mr. T. Branch out, sucka. Speaking of which, has anybody tried these things yet? I might go give one a ride tomorrow.
