Can't find a taxi? Get a Smart Car out of a vending machine instead
Photographed in Tokyo’s Shibuya Station is this awesome oddity – a vending machine for the virtually disposable little Smart Car. You may select a convertible or hard-topped model, depending on how flash you’re feeling.
Then you can drive off looking very silly indeed.
Obviously it’s not real. You won’t get a car out of it – just some promotional pamphlets about the Smart Car “lifestyle.” The Smart Car vendor is actually little more than a fancy mobile advert for Smart that’s doing the rounds of public spaces out there in Japan.
There’s a schedule of the vendor’s appearances on the Japanese Smart home page. For such a simple car, that’s one hell of a complicated web site it’s got there.

Driving, across the country or merely a state line or two, is the quintessential sport. Our cars transport us to destinations like family reunions, vacations and honeymoons. You won’t find it on the front page of the sports section, but driving, windows down, music blaring and sunshine hot on your face has become a tradition that’s getting more popular every year.
