I went, I saw and I drove.
I wish I could have come away with a better, or even just a fuller impression. I'm not complaining mind you, but the wait was too long (1 hour plus) and the drive was too short. I think it was literally around two blocks. My Smart representative was chattering on too much for me to really concentrate on the car for that all too brief a drive. He did mention that this was a particularly short route-among a miriad of other things I could only partly follow. I still am pretty enthused about the car, but I can't say I have too much of a handle on how it drives.
I also thought the reps I spoke with were a bit surly and short, maybe they're tired from this country driving. I do want to mention one thing that I was told which I found interesting. I had figured they load the cars up in the big trailer (it the one you you walk through and see the video and cutaway car before making the test drive), but he(Smart rep) said they are actually driving these Smart cars down the highways from one testdrive locale to another. He said most people had assumed car cars are transported, but they aren't. He wanted management at Smart to remove the stickers of the cars that are on the trailers
. I just though it would have been neat to have seen that caravan of Smart cars and that big trailer going down the highway.
I would have gotten back on line, but it was a tiring day. I'll try to post some pictures when I have more posts-I don't think I meet the minimum yet.
On a only barely related note, I tried Chipotte Grill for the first time afterward. I can definately say I wasn't impressed. They give you a huge burrito, but I felt the flavor was sorely lacking.
