Maybe not. That's why he didn't jump and crush that other car on the

I though California outlawed electric windshield wipers, because they
cause cancer? ;-)

I know that some California counties class bad LEDs as toxic waste.

No, no, no. It was soiling itself due to the fear of climbing that
gigantic mountain in front of it. The wipers are poo-deflectors.

On a visit to Paris in 2005, I saw a "smart car store", basically a
store front with a slightly over wide door and a short ramp down to
the sidewalk (pavement) displaying the various models - I want the
little sports model much more than the "smart for four".

I understand that you can roll one if you hit a filtered cigarette
butt with it. And it bends the unibody even if you don't roll.
