Small is better, at least in terms of preserving the environment, and a delightful new tome, The A-Z of Popular Scooters & Microcars, tells the fascinating history of little bitty pretty (or not so pretty) cars. Who knew that the Smart car wasn’t the first of its kind? Not me! But it turns out that similar cars were produced years ago by BMW, Fiat, Mini, Messerschmitt and many more. Check it out for a fun read, and maybe some ideas about your next vehicle.
