San Francisco Vandals Tip Over Smart Cars
Only in San Francisco: Vandals Tip Over Several Smart Cars
By Brian Shields
Mon Apr 7th, 2014 4:54am America/Los_Angeles



SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — A group of eight hooded vandals is apparently responsible for picking up several parked smart cars and turning them on their sides or upside down.

Witness Brandon Michael says he was smoking a cigarette when one of the incidents happened near Bowdoin and Sweeny at about 12:30 a.m. Monday.

“All of a sudden I just see eight hooded figures walk up to the car,” Michael says. “I thought it looked like they were up to no good. And then sure enough they walk up to this smart car right here, all huddle around it, and then lift it up and set it on its hind legs.”

Michael says he thinks the whole thing is kind of silly but clearly an act of vandalism.

Police say witnesses report seeing similar vandalism on smart cars at about the same time just on the other side of I-280. One smart car ended up on its side at Anderson and Ogden while another was left on its roof a few blocks away at Anderson and Courtland.

It’s unclear what the motive may be for the car tippings.

Smart cars are the worst value proposition in automobiles. Anything you want to claim it specializes in, another car does better. Zero reason to buy one other than letter others know you don't care about your money.

Well, nothing could be easier to park, if finding parking is your primary concern.

I am surprised they only get 35MPG though.

Scion IQ is more practical. So is a Mazda2, Ford Fiesta, and Chevrolet Spark, and none will take 15 seconds to get to 60 mph.

It took eight of them?

You'd think two or three could handle that itty bitty car.

I have to agree.

They're really not even economical. They cost a decent bit and they're expensive to maintain. Plus they're tiny as shit and the pause in shifting gears can be a bitch when you're trying to accelerate quickly.

That's really not true at all. My mom bought one when they first came out in 09 or 10 (IIRC). She bought it for 15k. She gets 48-50mpg on a fill up. The oil change is full synthetic ($30) for us to change, it does run premium gas, but it paid for itself after 3 years. She lives 40 miles from work one way. It was perfect for what she needed. All other maintenance has been done by us, and not been more or less expensive than most other cars. She has over 100k miles on it now, and its still running strong.

*Personally, I don't like how the car looks or drives, but to say they aren't economical is silly. If anything, economical is exactly what they are.

I wonder how much, if any this will affect the operation of the car?

Will fluids leak out being tipped over like that?
