After returning back from Detroit earlier today, I was headed down to the office in Atherton when I saw a smart fortwo: a pretty rare bird around these parts as even the Zap! converted models were never California legal.
This cabriolet was a first generation model with California plates. There's any number of ways the owner could have snuck in the car, the odd part was I counted three heads sitting in the little devil. Say wah? It seems that the driver and his buddies decided to carpool in the two seater and to hell with seat belts or seats for that matter. The third guy was sitting on top of the engine cover in rear hatch area. Here's hoping that it was a short spin around the block!
I wonder if this "three up" seating arrangement is common up in Canada?

It certainly does not seem common in Canada, although it wouldn't take too much squeezing. Our efforts (I'm the Good Car Guy from GoodCarBadCar) to lead the conversation with Ed Peper toward diesel & small cars is interesting in light of the smart fortwo. The smart has always been imported to Canada with an 800cc diesel!
