    They're catching on

    As I mentioned in another post somewhere, I've seen 4 smart cars in the past week: two in SF and two in Oakland/Berkeley. I even saw one on the freeway (Hwy 13). The two I saw in SF were parked "scooter style" with their noses or butts to the curb. Pretty slick. In Berlin they were a common site. Given SF's parking issues alone, never mind the gas savings, I think they may well catch on here as well.
