Smart Car Dunking
Posted by Dave Blount at July 28, 2009 7:00 AM
The Dutch have started a new fad — Smart car dunking:
Smart car owners have been left Smarting over a new craze — for chucking their motors into canals.
Dutch pranksters in Amsterdam have dumped dozens of the tiny two-seater cars into the city's waterways.
And now police fear the bizarre trend will spread to the UK and the rest of Europe.
Eco-friendly Smart cars are small enough to be picked up by just a few people and dumped into the Dutch capital's canals, reports De Telegraaf newspaper.
One victim Casper de Jong was woken by police after they found his Smart floating in the waterway outside his apartment.
Mr de Jong said: "Several weeks ago the same thing happened to my companion's Smart. Both cars were a complete write-off."
At least it's better to have your goofy Smart car tossed into the drink than to be in it during a collision with a real car.
Maybe not the smartest thing to drive.
On a tip from Oiao.
