I'm like *Do I know you?* then I realize, oh its the car.......then I get these huge trucks pull up beside me on the highway and want to race (?) Are you serious? look how old I am, I quit racing last decade....but then I have to blow their doors off because this thing flies, then when they catch up I STICK MY TONGUE OUT AT THEM...But my favorite, and it's happened all three times while getting gas.....some guy will come over and check the car all out and then ask *AH, is this electric*
Yeah buddy....thats why I'm putting gas into it* lol

Made by Mercedes, and called Smart for a reason. It's a joy to drive. There are only 42 dealerships in the US....many states don't have a dealership, so thats why the car turns heads. Last year, year ending 2010, 40,000 were sold. Mercedes does zero marketing of the car....it sells itself.

I'm lucky, as I have a dealership in my town.

3 times? How many miles have you driven over that time (or mpg?)? Which model do you have? Oh, and feel free to provide a pic!

Well, I don't drive my car much......It hasn't hit a 1000 yet. It gets 48 mpg
(only holds eight gallons) I have a well equipped Passion. I'll work on the picture. It's in the box right now. (keeping it clean).

The pic you posted is my current favorite color of the Wranglers right now. I LOVE the interior of the new ones, but hate the boxier exterior. They were perfect before.

Sweet. I'd suggest changing the oil once a year even if you don't hit the 3,000-5,000 interval change (not assuming you wouldn't have heard that before...I just hadn't until a few years ago).

What color(s) is your car?

"In the box", cracked me up! I had a vision of a toy box. I really do love those cars.

I have a picture of it on facebook in the box (not kidding) was looking to see if that was still in the camera) it's metallic blue. Yes, I know about the oil. I have another car....10 years old, 40,000 miles on it and I run synthetic oil in it because of viscosity. Because the smorevette (smart car) is a mercedes, it comes with synthetic already in it. Its an easy car to love. I'm telling you. my car insurance went down $330.00 same coverage. It gets a 4.5 safety rating. Not made to crumble, made to bounce off of. I was offerred a job selling them (i test drove it 6 times before I bought it, just to be sure I wasn't making an impulse buy) again, I hardly drive...and do I really need two cars?

My excuse for two cars is that one is rear wheel drive and is only a two seater, so it is not winter friendly, nor does it haul anything.

My other excuse is that the SUV is 11 years old.

You can use not only the "The insurance is really low on it", "The SMART car is too small to carry anything", plus "The 10 year old car isn't worth selling anyway" as excuses to make yourself feel better

I love the orange color too. The boxier exteriors don't bother me as much as the head rests in the back seat do. WTH? JEEP has made a lot of changes that I don't really care for. I think if I were to be in the new car market I'd seriously consider the new Ford Raptor. It's a sweet ride, interior loaded and completely off road ready.

I agree on the head rest thing.

I love the Raptor too. Too many vehicles, too little time.
