    If you have been to Europe, you must know that those people can DRIVE!! No or very few horns, no rash comments that make them get out & try to punch each other out (of course there are exceptions!), they just make room for each other! Didn\’t see any wrecks when I was there. AND their cars are smaller than OUR small cars!! Go figure! I guess we could stand to be a little more European like.

    All this talk about clowns reminds me of a trip I made with my brother to France, but I digress. Minicars are something to be considered; I myself prefer a fleet of Suburbans, but for little people, little cars make sense. I intend to pursue a more nuanced energy policy, where the little people can feel safer driving little cars. Under my plan, I consult a global test before allowing any more SUV\’s on the road. If we pass the global test, then we don\’t get SUV\’s. If we fail to pass the test, then we don\’t get SUV\’s, but we, I mean people like me, we get to enjoy the warm, 75 degree weather which my little friend Micro Car Jeff is forecasting due to globalular warming. I\’ve already put my wife\’s manufacturing facilities to work on producing a suntan oil that looks and tastes like ketchup, but comes with and spf factor 15. But seriously folks, my opponent, he voted for tax cuts for the rich and then he gave tax breaks to big oil. When Barak Osama and I take office, we will end the corruption of culture and enforce nothing but nuanced, multifaceted, multiculture. If we combine that with a $.50 tax per gallon of gas, we can end globular warming before Al Gore can get elected.

    I was trying to talk my wife into getting me a Mini Cooper for Christmas….once she hears about this there won\’t be a chance. She was already harping about the safety issues before she had proof.

    WAIT A MOMENT, I was told (by the all-knowing media) that it was the SUVs that were killing people? I was told that small cars were the way to go, they were good on gas, good for the environment and safer because they don\’t go as fast.

    NOW, I\’m more likely to die in a car crash in one of these \”Environmentally safe\” cars?

    Who screwed up on this one and led the media astray?

    why isn\’t Wal-Mart being taken to task for forcing their workforce into buying these little deathtraps! I see something undersized, so it\’s probably designed for purchase by Wal-Mart employees, who not only need higher pay, and a union, but they need bigger cars to drive. If they ban SUV\’s, these cars would be safer to drive for everyone, plus there would be more room to drive.

    shouldn\’t we be more Eupopean like? The world will like us better if we are European like, and they like smaller cars. If it wasn\’t for the big, gas guzzling suvs and trucks, these cars would be allot safer. We should ban all trucks and suv\’s.

    I think Ross Perot had a good point about smaller cars when he was running for president the first time: littles cars remind him of the story of the big fish and the little fish. The big fish wants to eat, and the little fish wants to eat, and they each swim around in that big, ole ocean. But, the big fish wants to eat the little fish, and the little fish doesn\’t was to be eat, so the little fish hopes the big fish eats another fish, and the little fish is then free to eat something else, which it can\’t do if it\’s eaten by the big fish. This is just like an SUV and minicar collision.

    do they consider a Cavalier to be a minicar? They\’re small, but I think they\’re bigger than the cars these people are talking about. When I\’m elected president, I want my motorcade to be made of American made Chevy Cavaliers, made right here in the good old USA. I just hope Oprah doesn\’t run for president, too.

    this really steams me; I see nothing but melting icebergs as a result of the bad press these cars of the future are receiving. We must encourage the manufactures to stop making SUV\’s and trucks, as Earth is in the balance and it might tilt on it\’s side if we don\’t push these minicars into use. If I am elected president, I will use a motorcade made entirely of these mini, clown type cars.

    I\’m sorry, I didn\’t understand you, did you say a motorcade full of of clown-like cars or just full of clowns???

    just because we use mini clown cars does not mean we are clowns, although my administration will be diverse and inclusive, so I will not discount anyone because of prior or current clown activities, or even bad makeup or orange hair. but if we keep big cars in motorcades, it excludes all those small car manufactures that want to sell to the mini limosine market. Call me a clown if you must, but mine is the party of the big, all inclusive tent.
