The Smart Car came about because, unfortunately driving a golf cart down the road is frowned upon among other things. We did want something that was close to a golf cart that provided that open feeling and a Smart Car fit the bill. Ours is a 2009 and we did a bunch of customizing such as lambo doors, custom stereo, exhaust, springs, wheels and more. It provides a unique driving experience and it’s compactness makes it a joy to wash.
