Seeing how Mercedes is committed to bring top of class aero in its cars, and how bad the Smart's Cd is, those pictures can look like a real tongue-in-cheek, but are a friendly poke at the same time.

I'm sure they won't take any offense to it. I'm going to be playing with a smart tomorrow. I wanted the cabrio so see if I could make a kamm from the windshield with the top down, but no such luck

Thanks guys.

Coming from the top-tier ecomodderists, now those are compliments.

I lurk & listen to the different threads and I have fun by 'adding' my PS contributions, hopefully to add new ideas to the discussions.
