I’ve often said that I have the urge to push over (or kick, depending on the day) a Smart car whenever I see one, but Amsterdam’s youth have one-upped me in epic fashion with a new activity called Smart car tossing.
Smart car tossing is exactly what it sounds like. Since Smart cars are so tiny that they can be parked perpendicular to a canal rather than parallel to one, it’s no big feat to just, well, push it right in for a swim.
