Finally!!!!

Well, after 1 year and 2 weeks, tonight I drove home in my little Zebra. (Too dark for pictures ** tomorrow for that). I am happy, happy, happy.

My pick-up was from Smart of Cherry Hill, and they were very nice, very quick, didn't try to sell me extras, etc. My only complaint (and here's a warning guys and gals) is that one of the many pieces of paper they stacked up for me to sign was one document with a mandatory arbitration provision, meaning they wanted me to waive my right to trial in case of any dispute with the dealership (including, for example, lemon law claims). As I always read what I'm signing, as I'm a lawyer and understood what I the document said, I immediately declined to sign that little puppy. I expected a fight but they just said, "OK" and moved on, but I'm sure 99% of buyers don't read all the paperwork and even many that do probably don't understand what they are waiving.

But, other than that, I'm a very excited woman.

I hope you enjoy your Zebra Shoshtrvls! MY DDE just changed to July14-Oct 12, 2008 so I may not be TOO very far behind you! We keep hearing friends tell us about having seen smarts in the wilds of Philadelphia, but so far, have seen NONE ourselves.

Thanks for the tip about the "arbitration agreement". I'd, probably have seen it, frowned, but signed anyway. NOW, thanks to you, that won't happen! See you on the streets of, ugh, Philly! (do you get the idea that I HATE this place!?)

Par, Par, Par ... Philly is the greatest city in the country. I've lived everywhere, from LA to SF to Boston to NY to here ** here's the best.

PhillyCarShare has some Smarts, but mine is the first privately-owned one I've seen (not that there aren't others, I"m sure, I just haven't seen them).

If you see me in my Zebra (probably driving between Queen Village and CC, say hi!
