If you think you're getting a lot of attention, imagine what it was like when we drove our Smart (2007 Passion Black/Silver) to the USA in early 2007. We emptied whole businesses of customers and staff, tour buses and even restaurants. Mexican restaurants were particularly surprised to see that the car had Mexican licence plates from Jalisco. We tried to charge a dollar for picture-taking but the economy was already getting bad up there and folks resisted.
