Honestly i love cars...gotta be stick shift, two doors, high rpm and FUN....well since i have been dumping all my money into biz last year or so, cant really afford another 40-50K car....but my luck has changed! here is what im planning on doing....HONESTLY!

here is a youtube video

Then you vinyl it all fucking up with EDR decals and such....this HAS to be fun! I mean the car NEW is under $14k...then find a busa motor for $2k...i could build it and all the electronics, pipe, etc for $2k...then add $10k for the entire kit..i got UNDER $28k in it and ready to spank the big $$$ cars...come on this HAS to be fun! not sure why you could not just gut it and instal busa motor and wiring harness, etc..
Car would weigh about 1,100 (remove the HEAVY car motor and back seats, etc... stock they are @1,600...so it very feasible...make about 200rwhp. How fucking cool would that be? NOt like i dont have a shop big enough to do it in either!!
Dont believe me still??? CHECK THIS OUT!

E - I think you may want this guy instead of the golf cart. I saved this some time ago as it too has a Brabus kit on it, but I can't remember which SMART model it is. It has a Targa top, too. You could let your hair blow in the wind .... err.....

Eric I was thinking this was a stupid idea for the first couple minutes of watching it, then thought....THIS WOULD BE FREAKIN AWSOME!! that's got to be so loud though inside with the engine exposed. I say go for it!!

who cares! its a SPORTS car!! I want one bad!! i mean, buy one for $14k...pimp it up with some sick red/white edr paint scheme...then save up and buy parts over winter and build it in house here..i could make a map with the powercommander by using a test busa' or gsxr1000 whichever motor i used...and man...how cool would it be to rap out a CAR to 13,000rpm down the city streets!! Then take to friday night drags and watch the kids poop themselves as you rip off fastest times of the night...hahahaha

Is this anything close to what you were thinking?
Assuming you're working in Photoshop, I emailed an EDR-Logo.PSD file to you and its something you can open and paste into your original PSD file on your computer that your working in for the smartcar. Then use the "Free Transform" function under the edit menu to scale, rotate, skew, etc the logo to fit to your liking.
Use your layers in Photoshop to create mutliple copies, orientations, etc.
Give me a ring if you run into problems

I have a Sti type RA JDM, special edition made in 1997 mint condition. 2660lbs.
bikes are my life, but a sports car that does not give you any mecanical problem is like a mute wife or better.
Get the car that you whant and ride it all day long.... When I get toluene so I can boost the car to 19PSI man is simply nirvana.
A busa stroked and bored with big radiator engine will give you a smile all day long on a light car.

Sportscar, this baby is my favorite. 4 wheel independent suspension Cosworth built Ford 4 cyl twincam. 6 speed. And all the aerodynamics of a brick... Just as soon as I come up with about 50 g's . I can dream, can't I? "Secret agent man,...secret agent man !...."
