This is an article that we posted last week:
I followed this asshole for 3 miles down I-90 trying to get a picture of his or her stupid yellow SmartCar. This (pictured) was my finest attempt without killing myself because it was 1pm and everyone was going 85. The vanity plate reads S-M-A-R-T-C-R. Clever. Real clever sir or madam. I do wish to inform you that if you had stopped suddenly you would have been crushed by a bearded gross man’s 1986 Cougar while he was taking a picture of your license plate. This article would have been way more in depth had this buildings Wi-Fi been working.
This was sent from my phone. Text message artcles? imgross going the extra mile. Or 3.
…………….
That was what we posed last week. This is a comment by some nerd from London, Ontario, Canada on a website called……get this…..clubsmartcar.com (go to website)
smart142: OK, let me get this right. Your driving 85mph in congested traffic and your risking your life to take a picture of a license plate?????? Who’s the smart one here???? Just remember folks that people like these are out on the roads. Be carefull!!

It doesnt end there. Then his nerd buddy Leadwing from Belmont, Ontario, Canada said this:
Leadwing: What a moron! In a different article, he complains about not being able to parallel park because of someone else’s car (a Crossfire), but also mentions that his POS Cavalier is missing a rear view mirror. You don’t suppose that that might have anything to do with his inability to parallel park? Hmmm. ![]()
Oh, and he doesn’t seem to like ‘novelty plates’ either, which means that this dipstick must hate just about every other vehicle on the road except his own. Last time I looked, smart cars were not the only ones sporting vanity plates.
All in all, this sounds very much like somone who hasn’t even graduated from high school yet, and just needs to put something, anything on the screen to make up for other ‘shortcomings’.

Here is the official imgross response:
I’m not sure which one of these dip shits I should respond to first so we’ll just go in order here. As Marcus Brody once said, “You’re meddling with powers you can’t possibly comprehend.”
Dear guy from London, Ontario, Canada:
If you’re driving the enclosed vehicle version of the MoPed, you probably wouldn’t want to be taking it out on the highway. Crash tests show that even a Zastava Yugo would cut through that thing like butter. So, yes you are a moron if you try to take your coffin on wheels out on I-90 with the big boys. Why don’t you keep that thing on the sidewalk where you can have a chance of surviving a crash with a Power Wheel or a child on a bicycle. As for my friend who snapped the picture, he’s a hero. He risked the life of an idiot and possible damage to his front fender to expose a growing trend of pompous, self-righteous asswipes trying to promote their “environmental consciousness” with a hilarious vanity plate. It’s worse than the turd driving the beamer with a plate that says, “MY BMW”.
Dear guy from Belmont, Ontario, Canada:
I’m missing a side view mirror not my rear view mirror. Maybe these things have different meanings north of the border or you have difficulty reading. Or you were just so blind with rage about someone bashing your beloved “Smart Car” that you couldn’t keep your facts straight. I in fact, am the driver of the POS Cavalier, while co-worker is the driver of the Mercury Cougar. You didn’t really think a guy who never graduated high school could afford both of these vehicles, did you? It’s not vanity plates that we hate, it’s numbskulls that use vanity plates. As for our shortcomings, we are fully aware of them and if you would read deeper into our website you will see that. I’d be more concerned that you’d be compensating for being a complete dip shit by buying a Smart Car. The math here is pretty simple; it’s the same as the guy who hasn’t gotten blown without paying for it since college that drives a Hummer. Oh, and I’m sure you’re doing plenty of parallel parking up there in Belmont, but I would still like to challenge you to a competition.
I wish you both the best of luck in all of your endeavors, as I picture you driving in your Smart Cars, windows down so the crisp Canadian air can blow through your mullet, but kept warm by your thick denim jacket. Thanks for reading!

Anyone else read the responses in Gary Busey’s voice? Fuck.
Who the hell belongs to a forum website called ClubSmartCars? Thats the most embarrassing club I have ever heard of!
Only an asshole would drive a smart car. Nice Indiana Jones reference.
hate mail about imgross.org always goes back to either: 1) the creators/writers didnt graduate high school or 2) that they live in their parents’ basement.
i’m ok with the smart car but not smart cars with vanity plates on the highway
A typical response from an uneducated American who drives recklessly and endangers others. Get a life then maybe you’ll understand the value of other people’s. Smart Cars represent foward thinking and social awareness.
Smart Cars aren’t the answer. They are not electric. They are just small, unsafe versions of shitty American gas hogs. They are easy to parallel park? Thats pretty selfish. If you live in a bustling metropolis too congested for normal size cars perhaps you should be using public transport. Typical misdirection from auto makers. Anyone got numbers on how much it costs to insure these deathtraps? Drop some knowledge on me, hosers.
I wouldn’t call driving around in a refrigerator on wheels a well educated decision. Actually, that’s a serious lack of respect for your own life.
Rich soccer moms have them so they can drive to the local Trader Joes to pick up some organic peanut butter cups while their Range Rover sits in the garage of their 4.8 million single family home. They say “I’m doing my part to save the world” .
Dont talk to me about social awareness you stupid Canadians.
I motion that the official television show sponsor of imgross becomes How I Met Your Mother. The complete disregard for Canada is brilliant in both the show, and this website.
On another note, SMART cars are driven by STUPID vegan yuppies who put leather upholstery in their other car then tell the world they are animals for eating meat.
Best article thus far. SmartCar owners are almost as derranged as vegetarians.
