Yup, I basjoosed it

The overall shape isn't too bad, just needs a few tweaks. But I didn't want to be ambiguous about the source of the inspiration (and it was late).

Well thanks I think others had the same idea though after looking around:
The Ultimate DIY Aero Mod - Smart Car of America Forums

Funny thing is they reference a post by ebacherville, but I cannot see his rendition of a boat tailed smart (he has server issues I think)

Fun entry for discussion purposes.

A tricycle configuration
Flat trailing boattail
Top-hinged full front wheel covers
Antenna deletion/fin replacement
Wiper deletion/hydrophobic glass treatment
Rear light assembly reconfiguration
Motorcycle wheel/tire combination replacements
Side mirrors deletion
Rear/side camera viewers
Door handles shaved
Sealed front treatment (not visible)
Sealed underside conforming to tapering rear boattail

Hope it is still in the spirit of the fun discussion.
