I used to hate driving in the rain in my old Ford station wagon with her less than effective brakes. But now that I have a smart car, will I feel safe enough to sit back and enjoy the weather? Roxi the smart car shows the power of her braking system!
Hi, I'm Rachel Nabors, and these are my real-life adventures with my new smart car, Roxi.
smart car Road Trip Soundtrack
One of the first things I did when I bought Roxi was I meticulously went about burning music to play in my new smart car, creating the best driving soundtrack I could to embody the joys of riding in my first car. I’ve been wanting to share these songs with other drivers for some time now, but I didn’t want to post MP3s for download. Then I found out about a site called Grooveshark which lets me create, save and embed playlists. At last I can share the Ultimate smart car Driving Soundtrack! Enjoy!

Roxi the smart car performs in Stormy Weather
The weather had been quite stormy all last week, with wind and rain. The wind never tried to blow my smart car around like it did on 540 the other day. I think that must have been an exceptionally ferocious wind that day. But I haven’t had problems handling her in the wind since.

Driving my smart car in the wind.
I had to drive my smart car home on interstate 540 yesterday, and the winds kicked up quite a bit. I don’t know their speeds, but they certainly weren’t extreme. Enough to make the trees wave, but I don’t imagine they were anything as bad as what we used to get in the mountains during [...]
First Brabus spotted.
I was driving my boss back from smoothies today when a black-trimmed silver smart car Brabus zoomed past us. We were at the Falls of Neuse and Spring Forest crossroads when it happened. So awesome!
Driving in the Dark
I was driving home late tonight in my smart car with the windows and sunroof open and The Orb’s Toxygene playing (music video provided below for your listening convenience):
I ended up riding tail-to-nose next to a lime green sports car with neon underlights. It was a very pretty effect. We were both doing about 70 [...]
