Smart Car tipping,

Smart Cars get even better gas mileage when they are upside down
So-called "Smart Car tipping" is a new form of vandalism taking place across San Francisco, where residents have begun tipping Smart Cars on their sides (or even upright) as a clever prank.
"A lot of people have very negative feelings about [Smart Cars]," said one Smart Car owner interviewed by CBS News in San Francisco (2).
The man goes on to explain, "Living in San Francisco as long as I have, I've come to expect random acts of violence and mayhem." (Car tipping is mayhem? Mr. Clean White Guy has apparently never lived in East L.A.)
Smart Cars are selected for the prank for the obvious reason that they are light enough to be manually tipped over by a small group of people who are bored out of their minds and / or interested in a weird rendition of automobile street sculpture.
While most cars are simply tipped onto their sides, the Smart Car pictured on the left was placed into a vertical "lift off" orientation, demonstrating an interesting progression in this "protest art." (3)
As a practical note for Smart Car owners who wish to protect their vehicles from being tipped, it is noteworthy that you can double the weight of the car by filling its gas tank
