Just adopted an orphan!

I'm super excited**I just went to SMART Centre of San Francisco yesterday, and found a lovely orphan there. Black on black with a red interior, with nice options. I was lucky to get there early enough to purchase it and am waiting until the end of today to pick her up. This looks to be the beginning of a wonderful relationship. YAY!

Pretty much but it was stuff i wanted anyways

Pretty much but I dont mind. Had I ordered the smart, it would have come in a similar configuration that I got. In other words, they kind of did but they were options I was planning to get anyways. Ended up paying $18,250. My other choice would have been a GTI, which would have set me back $26k, not to mention the depreciation, insurance, and fuel consumption so I'm a happy camper.

FYI, its costing me $87/month to insure this thing. What a benefit!

Congratulations Carl242!!! Orphan Adoption is a noble undertaking. These poor rejected vehicles need a good home even if decorated with some excess baggage, these are the issues we as adoptive parents have to deal with.
YAY!

Congratulations Carl242! I think I saw your car this morning on my way to work. It was parked at the dealer waiting for you to pick it up, a black/black outside the service area.

Have fun!

Enjoy the car, and thank you for adopting this poor French orphan. You are indeed a special person.

Have a great time and tell all of us who are waiting, all about the new addition.

My 1st smart is a similar combination, black/silver with red interior. I love it more and more every day I drive it!
