Amid the housing crisis, a retiree named Kai has ingeniously repurposed her 2006 Smart ForTwo into a mobile home to live affordably. Over the past 14 months, she has demonstrated the minimalist lifestyle by creatively using the limited space of her car, which measures only 8 feet long and 4 feet wide. Living in her Smartcar allows her to save for retirement until she can access Social Security at 70. Despite the cramped conditions, she has modified her space with air mattresses and finds comfort looking at the stars through her windshield.
I discovered I could actually lay flat in her and take everything I needed.
I wanted to retire at 65 and I couldn't afford it.
I can sleep fully stretched out; my head is toward the dash and I can see the stars at night through the windshield.
I've devised some MacGyver-esque ways to make the fun-size automobile feel like home.
