Stupid Cars

For some reason, I really have a problem with Smart Cars. I mean, I definitely like the idea of saving the environment and everything, but I hate those little things. I’m all for small cars and hybids, but those little things that seem less safe than scooter’s really make me mad. And I have never met anyone that does own one, but I imagine them to be some of the smuggest people in the world. Who knows?

Either way, for some reason my friend Alex Mason and I really want to tip one over. He has almost talked me into it on multiple occasions, but I realize that there would actually be some trouble with the law if we were to go through with our little plan. The thing is, is that it would be so, so easy to tip the thing. They are light as a feather and one can get it rocking back and forth pretty easily just by him or herself. However, it isn’t meant to be, and I think unless I were to buy my own smart car to flip, I’m going to be out of luck.

The reason I bring this up is due to the fact that I have an urge to flip almost every car in Belgium. These things are pretty much all smart cars. I’ve only seen one legitimate smart car (only a passenger and driver seat, virtually no trunk), but the rest are just asking to be tipped. I’d like to say that I will stay clear of these just as I have stateside, but I cannot guarantee that if Sunday’s race in Braschaat does not go well that I’m not going to flip the hell out of a smart car.

A pretty uneventful day once again in Belgium. Coffee and reading in the park were my main attractions. Going to do some picture taking tomorrow of my favorite spots in Ghent, and then just keep on getting ready for Sunday’s race, which will be my last of the season. I’m staying in Leuven Sunday night after the race to make it easier to catch my plane Monday, definitely looking forward to getting home, but going to take advantage of the last few days I have here.
