Mini Me

A while back, on some,"10 random facts about me" meme, I posted the fact that I love miniatures. I still have my childhood doll house, pimped out with awesome, life like mini-furniture and home accessories, rugs, lighting, etc, that would rival any museum-quality reproduction. In certain places in my home today you will find a few miniatures, here and there, tastefully placed as to enhance the decor of the room. My mom used to joke when I was a kid that I would one day marry a midget to encapsulate my love of mini things, (I married a mental midget, but that's a story for a different day) and both of my kids got the "mini" gene.

Having said all that, I consider myself a discriminating mini collector, as a coveted mini, for me, must have that certain aura of duplicity to send me into a frenzy.

By now I am sure that you have all seen the SmartCar.
Adorable, economical and all over Europe. I thought they were cute, but they did not leave me running for the car dealership wanting to make a deal.

Today that has all changed. I got an email that sent my mini-instincts into overdrive, literally! I'm not quite sure these are real or not, but I am more than sure that I want them all!!!

I present to you my mini fantasy.

heehee, The Smorvette! For those "just you and the open road" days.







The Smaudi A3, for the one child pick-ups after the soccer game!





The Smorche!! This one is quite possibly my favorite, as I am a Porsche owner. (My Guy technically is the owner, but I drive it more than he does)










The Smerrari! AHHHHHH! This one is so stinkin' cute I can hardly stand it!





The Smamborghini!! By BFF's hubby has the exact big version. G-Dog, this could be for you and Big's weekend driving!!

How could I choose between them? I want them all!

I think I'm in love.....

Those are too cool. You could keep your car and its keys on the same keychain!

What? No Smugatti? FOR SHAME!

Had to delete previous comment. Chardonnay can lead to typo's.

Those pictures are great! What about tall people? They will lose out and eventually become an endangered species with the environemental movement.

There is actually a Smart car that was a sort of sports car... https://www.tiscali.co.uk/motoring/broadband/roadtest_smart_roadster.html sadly it got dropped from the range some time back. There was one German company that would put a second engine in it for you and gave it supercar performance

I cannot ever imagine a man buying one of those, but I guess for girls it would be cute lol.

Do those things have a weight limit?!? No, I'm sorry sir. You can't purchase this car, you're too fat. It won't be able to actually transport you anywhere
