Okay, I know that's a loaded question to ask about a car, but I'm thinking story settings here. Search for the title on my blog and you'll find a few of these articles. I use pictures of the places I go to stimulate fictional situations. Most of the time, I use interesting architecture, but this car just stands out. Is there anyway anyone would miss this car coming down the road or mistake it for another car? I confess, I'm not a car-watcher. (Well, the occasional 'Stang or Jag, but I digress.) Even I would have no trouble at all identifying this car. And I won't even touch the fact that the makers dubbed it "Smart."
This car could really mean trouble for someone in a story. Imagine what would happen to it if a bear took a liking to it? No, strike that. No one would be so "smart" as to take this car to the woods. How about a train missing it by inches because it tucked in its booty. (Well, it looks like it tucked it in to me!) Speaking of booty, maybe it could double as a futuristic pirate's chest. Okay, I'm grasping at this point.
Still, I plan to have fun with this car - well, as you can see, I already have, but I intend to have a little more fun with it. Maybe I'll have my main character find a body in it! That sounds intriguing ...
Oh, and just in case you're curious--putting 2 and 2 together from yesterday's blog article--no, this is not my new car. I'm claustrophobic, and me getting into this hot, tiny space felt like stuffing a teddy bear into a Hot Wheels!
So what would you do with this car that's called "Smart"? I want to hear your idea, and then, why don't you go ahead and write up the story?

I usually post every weekday - typically late. This walk as a writer is a new one for me, but I've learned so much! I highly recommend it! Thanks for stopping by and chatting with me!
Every time I see one of these cars, I expect to see someone's feet underneath, Flintstones style, running like crazy!
Hehehehehe! I can just picture that, Tiff! Thanks for sharing!
