The Smart - inspired by the sardine can.
We had a gig last night and after it I drove the band van with all the equipment back to where we store it and got a lift back into town in a Smart. This was the first time I had ever been in one... and may well be the last time.
Apart from anything else, I could hardly get in in the first place. The Smart is not recommended for two people whose "diets" are not going too well.
This one (it was a rented semi-automatic cos the guy driving it has a broken toe at the moment and can't use a clutch) didn't even have power steering and I was getting exhausted just watching him struggling to get this little tin can out of the parking space - especially after driving a van full of equipment which was feather-light to drive.
I suppose there is one thing...you can rest you chin on your knees as you tootle along... but as Paul (driver - broken toe) said, you wouldn't want to be in one with someone you didn't know too well, it's a little too... intimate.
Anyway, another first for NeutronNews - and one more thing that I never need to buy.

I presume as you've posted here you managed to suqeeze yourself out again. All I can say is thanks for saving us the trouble of a try-out.
