Who wants to get “Smart”?

Wow! Will the increasing price of gas level off anytime soon? We are almost to the point when it makes sense to “upgrade” to a more fuel efficient car. During a recent trip to Europe, I got a kick out of seeing the streets lined with SMART cars. These cars look like they are barely […]
