Jan's new smart - maybe.

[petenjan]

Hey guys;
Jan may be able to get her own smart. We've already talked to Hans over at smart, Riverside and he says that Walter's MB plans to participate in the CARS program (previously known as "cash for junkers").
I've got an elgible car to trade in and Jan has been looking over the local smart inventory. I'm pretty sure Jan already has her car picked out.
We are looking for a pretty basic car (not a Pure) to tow behind our motor home.
We should know for sure by this Thursday or Friday, that's when the federal program is supposed to kick off.

FYI, John is no longer the manager at smart, Riverside and Hans has stepped in to move things along. Hans has certainly been easy for us to work with - he has even returned all my calls, promptly, no less.

Wow - we might actually become a two (too) smart family. lol

Great news. Most dealers will start the "cars" paperwork now. I hadn't realized that the program doesn't have an end date, but a Max Dollar amount, so if your interested, and have a proper trade, then make it happen.

Now you will be able to add to the number of cars your garage can hold.

Welcome (maybe) to the family of families that are too Smart because they have two Smarts.

Wish you luck on the second smart.

Jan gets her new car - YES!
Despite several false starts, this Saturday proved to be a banner day for Jan because she picked up her new 09 Passion from the smart Center, Riverside.
Happy, happy, Joy, joy at my house. If that car hadn't had a windshield, we would still be picking bug parts out of her teeth.
I want to especially thank Hans, the new manager at smart, Riverside for taking the extra time to find the car that Jan wanted and to get us the CARS discount so quickly.
Me, I'm just happy that Jan's happy, although I am a little disturbed that Jan's car is white with a black tridion - OMG- that's the same color combination as JetFuel's car. What's going on here?

Congratulations! Glad you guys finally closed the deal. Enjoy, enjoy and we will look forward to seeing your new smart and hearing about its acquisition.

Looking forward to seeing you two at the next smartcoffee on August 9th.
Missed you last Sunday, we had a pretty good turn out.

Hi SmartiePrincess;
Yeah, I would have liked to have made it to the coffee last Saturday, but "somebody" couldn't be pried out of her car. And she convinced me that the message for the meeting on the 9th cancelled out the message about last Saturday's get-together (and therefore there wouldn't be a meeting) , so why not take a road trip. So we did. lol.
Anyway, we look forward to the meeting on the 9th.
Pete

Kyle was sorry he missed it.
