ummm, wow. That brings a tear to my eye.

He probably did it for a joke.

It is pretty funny IMHO. Who knows, he might even be an M owner.

Its a test mule for the new m3.

it was done as a joke - he had an M but it was totalled. Imagine going from an M to a Smart Car

Yeah that's a bummer. How come he didn't just get a new M3? Upside down on the loan, and no gap insurance?

I tried to joke around with him about it and pointed to my M3 that was parked across the street - he just grumbled and walked away. His wife was friendly though and told me about the accident (someone hit him and he was lucky to walk away unhurt). Didn`t get any more details. You may be right though. Seems like he bought the car most unlike an M - probably a sore subject for him.

Being a long time BMWCCA member, multiple BMW owner, current E92 ///M owner and BMW Sauber fan (go Kubica)....I would love to see an AMG badged SMART car.

if he actually got into a serious crash with a BMW, you would think he would stick to it and not get into a car that will likely kill him in 15mph crash

gnatty8 · 02-22-2009, 12:07 PM

At least the guy has a sense of humor about the situation.. If I saw that in traffic I have to admit I'd get a laff out of it..

I know, right? The only place i`d feel safe in that car would be a golf course

wtf

Green///Hell · 02-22-2009, 01:10 PM

^^^ Lame ass pickup line FTL hahaha

But I would have guessed maybe it was his daily driver or something, but when you see our badges on really late model Jettas with Angel Eyes than they have got to go

A lot of Ferrari owners put he shield on their dailies, but then again they're easier to spot, they're not exactly on economy cars

Adonislike · 02-22-2009, 01:34 PM

LMFAO!!!

chris_b_owens · 02-22-2009, 05:32 PM

sucks for the guy. but the worse i've seen was a car that was clearly an audi a4, an older year, with all it's emblems removed except one....an m3 emblem. now that was pathetic.
