New car in Minnesota.

Hi

Plans are to get my car in a few hours if all goes according to plans.
I put in my reservation 7/19/08 and I just couldn't wait any longer. I found one close by and purchased it.It is an all black Pure. I figure I can save around $500 a month in fuel costs just driving to work. Of course that is assuming I can get it away from the wife, maybe I shouldn't let her drive it for the first time...

There are 3 or 4 cars running around town. The one I drove was just down the street, now mine is the exact same color and configuration. Should be interesting.

Cool, congrats! If you want to join us in Iowa for Iowa's First Rally, its a good way to "break-in" the smart at a rally?!?

Keep us posted jimvw57, would love to have more of us on the roads.

Well after taking delivery, I drove the previous owner home, then off to work. It now has 271 miles on the clock. Drives like a dream!

I will probably have to do some rally type stuff just because I used to do that and it was a good time. I was driving Corvairs back then.

Congrats, Jim! Enjoy every bit of it. Great little cars! I'm about to get my first scheduled oil change... 9200 miles so far and couldn't be happier! Hope to see you around sometime!
