    Don't knock 'em. I found the smart-car quite engaging once i'd gotten used to a) it was a left hooker and b) it feels like it's wider than it is long.

    Smart car - 3 cylinder, 6 spark plugs, rear end panels need removing to access the lower 3 plugs. Lazy bonus bashers don't change the lower 3.

    No sump plug.

    Great idea! :clap:
