New San Francisco Sport: Smart Tipping (Cows Are So Passe)

There aren't many cows in San Francisco, so cow-tipping is rare. But a few creative citizens seem to have found a substitute.

Flipping over Smart cars has apparently emerged as a new sport in the city, according to NBC Bay Area. The station found three Smart ForTwo minicas tipped onto their noses or tails between Sunday night and this morning.

A witness told reporters that he saw "six to eight" individuals gather around a Smart and tip it over. Apparently, that's how many people are required to lift one of these small cars, which weigh in around 1,800 pounds.

The witness said the cars looked like dachshunds sitting up on their hind legs.

It's almost to make you feel sorry for the little cars--and certainly for their owners, in for an unpleasant surprise when they staggered outside on Monday morning to embark on their morning commutes.

This isn't the first time Smart cars have been the subject of cruel jokes, though.
