Got the call yesterday

[wwhopper]

That my SMART is sitting at the Port of Baltimore and will be delivered next week to the dealer.

Not to decide if I really want to go through with it.

great news. but i'm a little confused why post this on here? are you looking for support? are you looking for people to buy the car? what's the motive? i mean really, it's $15k.

You can always buy the car and sell it on eBay for a tidy profit!

that's why it seems fishy to me. join date: Jan 2008. doesn't really ad up. there are gonna be a bunch of people flipping these things for a few $K i would guess.

I was hoping you would tell me that I have to get it, and not just pass on it and ask for my $99 back.

Like most fourms, everyone questions the new guy!

You absolutely can get your $99 back. bmx43, I think the join date is to this forum, not the $99 reservation date.

sorry for the chilly reception. Obviously you jumped on the bandwagon early, so you were probably enticed its unique design, or maybe mpg's. Obviously already driving a MB, you probably can afford it, so what is the hesitation...perhaps a family with kids? Ya gotta give us more!

Welcome, WWhopper!

Congratulations on having an early reservation.

The smartie will change your life, if you let it. You will have to allow extra time everytime you drive it, because everyone will want to talk to you, you will get thumbs up from lots of people (not just hitchhikers), people will talk with you from their cars at stop lights, carwashes, traffic jams, cell phones will take numerous photos of you and your smartie as you fly by, you will have a hard time not smiling when you see it smiling at you.

Not sure what you expect from a car? The smart will give you sometime totally different. Even when the smartie becomes an everyday thing, it still generates smiles and goodwill. Who can resist? Hope this helps you understand the smart is really a different upbeat experience.
