CAN YOU FIT IN A SMART CAR? NOW YOU CAN FIND OUT WITH THIS SIMPLE NEW DEVICE
Tens of people who would like to own a Smart Fortwo hold off purchasing one because they’re concerned they might not fit comfortably behind the wheel of the diminutive two-seater.
But a new device similar to the familiar carry-on luggage sizing device found at airport ticket counters might put prospective buyers at ease.
“We call it the Smart Fit,” said Smart spokesman Skiff Dickerson. “We’re putting them in all our showrooms and also in malls all over the country. If someone fits in the Smart Fit, believe me, they’ll fit comfortably in a Smart Fortwo,” promised Dickerson.

| “I’m too damned big,” said an anguished Buckley “Buck” Buckley |
Buckley “Buck” Buckley, 44, of East Ohop, has been considering buying a Smart car ever since his girlfriend Jellie Ruth fell in love with a midnight blue Fortwo Proxy Coupe she saw parked at the local Walgreen’s and began passionately licking its windows.
“God, she loved that little car,” said Buckley, shaking his head.
But unfortunately, when he stopped by his local dealership, East Ohop Smart, to size up the Smart Fit, he discovered he didn’t fit. “I am too damned big,” said an obviously devastated Buckley. “My feet stuck out and my head is too high.”
Buckley, who became stuck inside the Smart Fit device, was eventually pulled out by his belt loops by the sales manager. “What am I going to tell Jellie Ruth?” he said as he walked forlornly through the Fortwos parked on the lot.
