• Bottom rear cover from road debris
• 12 V battery wore out.
• OEM tires wore out
• Added 2” receiver hitch
• Unseen post while parking
• One cabin filter replacement
• Most frequent, window washing fluid

My cars work for me and most of these were wear and tear from working hard. My previous Prius had similar maintenance plus Spring/Fall oil changes, annual engine filter, two transmission oil drain and fill, failed attempt to replace brake booster after 260,000 miles.

An EV is a car body encapsulation of a near maintenance free electric drivetrain.

EV's are actually great tell the battery goes bad and you gotta spend $50,000
for a new one.. also how do i charge it when the power goes out?

Boat ramp + Tesla = smoke on the water.

Tesla Rolls Into the water and Catches Fire!!

Bonus: Effluent discharge right into the marina.

Not sure if that would ever fit a Smart Roadster.

People let all kinds of vehicles fall into the water off of boat ramps all the time.



Uhh don't convert the Smart, just get yourself a G1 Honda Insight. Way less work, better result.

Uh huh, it's like how guns kill people sometimes.

Mom's Camry ran into the house, crushing garbage cans, the wall, and a washer and dryer. It also backed into something causing a crease in the bumper.
