Little and Big

Yesterday I spotted my first Smart Car in Philly. I've seen them in Canada a lot, but this is my first American sighting. I wasn't the only one intrigued. Every person passing by stopped and checked it out. The guy in the picture was all but lifting the hood to see what made it tick. I think they're adorable - they look like little shoes, and I think I could probably pick one up and put it in my pocket. Plus, parking would be a breeze!



On a size-related note, my friend and I went into Famous 4th Street Deli today and saw the largest apple turnovers I've ever seen. Witness her amazement:



She bought one for her boyfriend, so I'm waiting to hear if size is any indication of quality.

*UPDATE* Apparently in this case size is an indication of quality. Carl says the turnover is delicious (and I figure they've got a week's worth of dessert now, so it's economical as well)

I'm thinking that friends literally picking up your smartcar and moving it a block over has to be a common problem.

Got a ride in a real mini (not one of the new ones) recently. Whee, upholstery as load-bearing material!
