I took these pics a couple of weeks ago at the 2010 Pittsburgh Auto Show. I remember seeing a BWW Isetta when I was a kid. The driver parked in front of a movie theater and to my surprise he got out of the car in a strange way. It would be cool to take a picture of Swifty behind the wheel of the 1957 BMW Isetta. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I wonder if the wicker basket is for food or snakes. ![]() The rear of the 1957 BMW Isetta looks like it's about 3 license plates wide. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Here's a few pics of the 2010 Smart car (53 years younger than the 1957 BWW Isetta). ![]() $16,000 sticker price, and a waiting list for the Smart car. ![]()

Hold on Ray, I'm on the phone with Steve Urkel, he's freaking out at the moment. Will get back to you in a moment. . . . Ok, got him calmed down! Not sure if I've seen the BMW ever on the road around here. Did see a smart car convertible last year in a parking lot and someone here in town has one. They have a large decal advertising Round Up for farmers. Amazing how big of a difference the mpg is between the two. The Smart car doesn't get any better MPG than a mid size hybrid Fusion. Go figure. Thanks for the pics Ray. |

Zach, a friend of mine has a Smart car. I couldn't believe he bought one. He had 3 JEEPs and a Triumph TR4. He sold a JEEP to buy the Smart car. He loves his Smart car! A Smart car passed me on the PA Turnpike on my way to the 2009 Keystone Diecast CARnival. I was doing 60 MPH when he passed me. He had to be going 75 MPH. Later I found out some Smart cars will do 90 MPH. (SCARY!) I'm not fond of 3 lugs holding the wheel on. |

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

Do you really 'get behind the wheel' so much as 'put it on and wear it'?

Agreed, I have wanted one of those for a couple of years. Talk about a boulevard sleeper! |
