Looking for SMART car information
Does anyone here tow a Smart car? We are interested in any information pros and cons of towing one, and how you like driving one of these little guys on the road. Thanks!!!

Life is to short to drive an ugly car
Life is too short to drive a car this short in the safety department. You might as well be on a motorcycle for all the safety it affords it's occupants.
They are very difficult to tow in that their wheels/tires are different sizes, as well as their wheelbase is so short, that the front wheels basketball bounce on tight turns.
The safeguard is to tie-off the steering wheel with bungey cords, and pray to God they work.
Well, I don't think any of us driving a smart car are unaware of the laws of physics driving a smart car but comparing a vehicle with 8 air bags and a tridium roll cage and the safety record of a smart car to a motorcyle is a bit of a stretch. :)
I would be curious in hearing more about the difficulties you are having towing your smart car as I know a LOT of people who tow smarts and NONE of them have had any issues. The Bungy on the steering wheel is a good idea though.
Cheers.
