Couldn't be more thrilled!!

two days ago, I had no idea I'd be in love this much!
i have a grand caravan, been looking for THE car off and on for 4 years. the van is 10 years old. i'm just tired of it. nothign wrong with it.
I really really wanted a nissan murano. or a lincoln MKX. which was out of my price range.
hanging out on the internet sunday later afternoon, messing around i ran into a pic of a smart car, 2 hours later, I decided this is cute. ok cool... craigs list, there's one in town for sale. went to look at it. loved it.
googled some more and found my new baby at a lexus dealer.
today I brought her home.

OMG i am in total and compelte love. I feel like singing a country song from andy griggs. about how he's in love with a girl who is totally not what he'd dreamed of.

I bought a 2009, blue and silver tan interior, passion, soft top.
13,000 miles on it. drive out was 11,700.

this happened so fast, I am not even sure what I have!!
I know nothing it seems. the dealer knew nothing of it either.
so far I burned up one gallon of gas, and it's done nothing but rain.

people are laughing at me! lol and I giggle. like a teenager on a first date.
people say i'll get killed. but I tell them it's safer than a motorcycle!!
i saw some crash test you tubes.
3 hours after purchase i realized i have a 6 disc CD changer! woo hoo!
i have seat heaters! OMG.
the dealer didn't know I can change the panels, i had to tell him that.

i cannot believe I own a Smart car. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.
anyone want a 01 grand caravan?? cheap!

Wow! That's a great story Stella!

I waited 14 months for delivery on mine, lol. That was several years ago when they were new to the USA and there was a waiting list.

Loved your story and it's good to know you're enjoying the smart. SCOA is a full of great people (and jetfuel) who will eagerly answer any questions you may have.

Let the fun begin!

This must be happy Tuesday...You new members are gettin' me in the groove to sell some notes tomorrow or Thursday!



Do you have a tach (pods sticking out of the dash)? I think smarts look best with 'em...
