Found the smart under the snow...

Well I finally dug "Squirt" out from under the snow. The first major snowstorm she was tucked away in the garage. During the last snowstorm she got caught outside. I shoveled around her yesterday and started cleaning her off today. When I finally got the snow off the windshield I noticed the inspection sticker said January... just great. I had to go out so I took the Subaru. When I came out of the store someone had parked a yellow 2008 smart parked right in front of me. I just hate when Squirt m… Continue

Sears Christmas Commercial

I just saw a Sears commercial on the tube. The elf arrives at the store in a red fortwo with a tiny trailer. Also, one of the sign magazines we get at Fastsigns had photos of recent wrap jobs. Two of the winners were fortwo's. I love our little one!

CSI New York

I'm sitting here watching CSI New York and the episode is taking place in Greece. In many scenes there are one or more smart fortwo's in the background. They all have two tail lights as opposed to three. It's great to see so many on a tv show.

Can we drive the shiny gray gokart???

Last night at a pot luck supper, the kids were riding a two seater gokart around the yard as we ate our supper. After about 30 minutes they rushed in and asked if they could drive the shiny gray gokart in the driveway!

She's dang cute and pretty, too! I like how different these cars look with only minor color changes. The grey/black is a particularly good color combo. Try to keep the little squirt from becoming a snow plow. My Brabus, lowered and with extended front valance, would be particularly prone to plow snow. I wouldn't want to scratch the front air dam plowing icey snow.
Keep her safe!

Check out my DMV experience this morning. (I posted a discussion). Sounds like you got off easy if all they did was not know what kind of car it was! haha.

That Metallic Gray looks really nice on that little "Squirt". So where is Troutville, VA anyway? Is it known for some good fishing? Id be up for a good road trip to see that car on a saturday, of course id show off mine in return.

Oh so that's what configuring means in reference to the smart. The DDE estimated my delivery date at December 2009, do you think that it will be that long? Do they call you when you configure and then you give all the specifications about your car? Thanks for helping me out!

Hi! Thank you for the welcoming comment. Frescita is scheduled to arrive between December 2009 and February 2010! :( I reserved mine when there was an 18 month wait!! How long did it take you to get yours? Oh and can you explain to me what configuring means?

Thank you!

Hi Richard.
You right, I have the black interior too. I vacum my car almost on a daily basis. I never took such a good care of my previous cars as I do this one.

I like the color of your car!

I like your gray Smart. I configured mine about a week ago and also chose gray. What color of interior did you choose? I hope to get mine spring/summer 09; can hardly wait any longer.

Congrats!

Did you get your smart as your primary vehicle or do you have another that you drive regularly? Also, in case your dealer didn't tell you; don't leave the windshield wipers in 'auto' mode or they will continue to sense for rain even when the car is off and your battery will be dead as a result. He suggested also doing the same thing with the auto headlights until they can rule that out as a possible problem as well.
