    They should have beat the shit out of him just for driving a “Smart” car.

    Low speed, low car chase.

    I bet he was exceeding his smug emissions.

    After apprehending the nitwit the cops should have just stepped on the smart car to keep it off the road.

    Smart Cars are Dumb Cars. You should hear the koolaidians defending them as safe. A test was done to show the crash-worthiness of these cars by running one into a cement barrier. But the barrier was angled at about 45 degrees to the direction of travel. In other words, the impact of the crash was dissipated by the angle of the barrier. It made it appear as if the car is safe. The test was NOT peformed with the barrier perpendicular to the direction of travel. Wonder why?

    Seriously though, it wasn’t his fault… He wasn’t actually driving the “car”. He was just hitchin’ a ride on his kid’s R/C car, and the kid wouldn’t stop! Still, I’m not quite sure why Glenn Beck would be riding his kid’s remote control car but hey, it’s a free countr… oh wait… Well they still call it a “Free Country” anyway!

    I know nothing about cars. Only ride motorbikes.

    What intrigues me here is : why didn’t he stop? Why the urge to park his mini-car in his own driveway?

    When I was in Europe I saw a bunch of these.
    I saw one parked next to a Mini Cooper. It made the Mini look as big as a sedan…

    That was incredibly boring. Two cop cars could have blocked the Smart car. Guess the cops were afraid if they tapped the puny thing it would fall apart.

    Katechon, I own two vehicles, (not including the wife, cause I don’t drive German trash) Duramax GMC, which that thing would fit in the bed of, and a 69 z28 that can’t burn all the gas the carb supplies. F that green shit. It’s the true American way.

    @brad I see. I’ve learned to prefer slender and tight motorbike to ride fast yet stay discreet (avoiding the greedy eyes of the police) and to navigate between traffic lines.
    Guess I’m thinking about cars from a motorbike perspective.

I really don’t like growing old. I get em everyplace else. Well maybe except for sprinting. I’ve evolved into an Octopus. Fuck with me all you want, just don’t get close or your mine.

    Katechon, the miniature cars are killers, and the leftist movement tried to convince people to buy them using the threat of global warming/climate change. The product was bad and the marketing was based on lies. The whole modern electric car movement leaves me even more irritated at leftists and their agendas.

    I have an anonymous source who assures me that the driver was Harry Reid. He paid an elderly senile man to get in the car when he got out and allowed the cops to grab the older man.
    If Reid claims this is not true, then let him prove it.

    The video would have been a lot more interesting if:

    -The little shitmobile ran head-on into a garbage truck driving the opposite way.

    -After the driver was ejected 50 feet from the wreck, the cops gave him a beatdown that would make Rodney King sympathize.

    We don’t have a many tart-cars here in Indiana…You’re likely to get run off the road by a local. When I do see one, I go out of my way to either:

    -Cut them off.
    -Don’t let them yield or merge.
    -Flip them off.
    -Point and laugh at them, and make certain the driver can see me doing so.

    Funniest thing I ever saw…A smartcar going too fast on the ice, spinning out of control, and getting stuck in the ditch full of snow. I laughed so hard I almost spun out too.

    I don’t know which car I hate more…The prius or the smartcar. The only thing they are good for is target practice.

    I’ve never begged more for a cop to do The Pit manuver than I did while watching that video…

    They could have at least beat the shit out of the driver after he got out, then showed the tow truck hauling the dinkymobile off to the crusher.

    “Gray headed geezer. Probably claim he never noticed the officer.”

    No, since he’s a Democrat, he will follow his Party’s orders and say he was having a stroke, just like the Oabama Admin Democrat EX-Secretary of Commerce (Crime: drunk and/or drugged causing two hit & runs within minutes) and Whatsername Kennedy (CRIME: drugged on Ambien or some other narcississtic its-all-about-me drug, causing hi-speed accident with another vehicle on a US Interstate)
