My favorite things about smart
It's DARLING and great on gas!
About Me
I'm 5'2" and Mark is 6'6" tall. We are forever trying to find a car we both like and we both fit in! We have a gas eating SUV and are so happy to both enjoy the idea of adding a teeny tiny car that will be a great relief when we pull into the gas station. It reminds me of the little Honda Coupe I had in 1972, my first car.
My smart's name
Unnamed until we see the shining red face, er hood... We ordered a red Cabriolet with black trim.

Test Driving Day - 6'6" Mark folded up and fit inside just fine!

Visiting the Relatives

Today I went to the Smart car dealership and looked at the cars again. We just cannot wait for ours to be delivered and it is hard to imagine waiting so long for a car. While there, I bought a tiny little replica of the real thing for $15 for my desk to remind us of the little hatchling that is under construction. Then I drove away in my fuel sucking SUV and headed straight to the gas station.

SmartyMarty,
Realizing it may be a year or more before you get your smart car you are still welcome to join our Central Florida Smart Car Group e-mail notification list and to participate in our meet and greets which would allow you to see a lot of smart cars and discuss experiences with a lot of owners.
While I try to post updates of our activities here on the web-site I maintain an e-mail notification list with more regular updates on club activities. The list currently includes 70 people or couples about 60 of which have cars now and 10 of which like you have reservations and await delivery.
If you would like to be on our e-mail list please e-mail me with your names, your e-mail address and the city in which you live and I will add you to the list. Currently we have members from The Villages in the North to Lake Wales in the South and from Daytona to Tampa. The majority of the members are in the greater Orlando area.
You can reach me by e-mail at kwagar@tampabay.rr.com.

Thanks,

Ken

Good luck. My Smart replica was on my desk for years before I got mine--her name is Mathilde.

Making a smart love coffee!

Well here is a recap of our journey so far. I heard about smart cars about 18 months ago and took some interest. Saw a smart roadster in the Amsterdam airport in August 2007 and searched on the name when we came back home. Saw the roadtrip coming to Charlotte and test drove one in September 2007. Put deposit down one day later. Waited. Waited. And then we waited some more. Found and joined some websites about smart (obviously). Received configuration email and started checking DDE on a regular b… Continue

WHERE IS LELAPINBLANC?

WOW! I decided to check out this site again after taking about a week off from it. I just got tired of everything being dominated by LeLapinBlanc. But then again I could be just dreaming. It sure is pleasant to be on here and read everyones blogs and comments without his ranting and raving about his dealer and the "THE GREAT ORPHAN CONSPIRACY".

Downloading my picture & Gas question

Can anyone tell me how to get my photo downloaded? Also, since the Smart is so small, can you pull up to the gas station pump on either side and have the hose reach the gas tank?
