"The small two-seat cars were flipped on their sides or roofs in an apparent vandalism spree Monday in two San Francisco neighborhoods."

"Police said they didn’t know whether the incidents were a prank or another episode in escalating tensions among some residents who blame the tech industry for rising rents and cost of living."

The cost of replacing them will be small change to their owners.

Rent and cost of living would be rising even more radically if Apple, Google and others hadn't conspired to refuse to hire one another's engineers.

Youts used to tip over cows. I guess they put up too much of a fight for the hoodie crowd.

You buy a car that's begging to be tipped over. Then you complain.

I saw one of these yesterday for the first time, then I saw another. My impulse was to flip it.

A large man got out of the first, so did a woman, they dashed into a restaurant. I wondered, how did they fit? Then I wondered more, how in the world would you pick up a date in that? It's purely for peddling around capitol hill, no? And further, there goes the neighborhood. Only an import new to this place would think of driving a toy like that around town.

Next years' models will come with tip alarms.

"I'll ask you again, Mr. Burge, can you account for your whereabouts on the night in question?"

My Moroccan french buddy has a smart car. I told him that I'd tip it over when he wasn't watching. He said if I can tip it over I could keep it. I said, I'm not tipping it over then.
