A New Lurker

Hi Everyone,

I live in upstate South Carolina. A beautiful city of Greenville, SC is located about five miles from here right off of I-85. Stop by and see our Falls Park with a unique bridge and view of a little Falls. Visit our museums and take in a Broadway show at the nearby Peace Center. You'll find the people friendly and the downtown, Main Street loaded with eating places of all varieties, etc.

At this point I am just a lurker getting familiar with the Smart Car. I drive a 22 year old Nissan Pickup and my better half has a Honda Fit Sport. If the Nissan ever takes it's last gasp I'll be looking for something new and a nice Smart Soft Top might just fit the bill.

I am a displaced Hoosier. I like being 50 miles from the Smokey mountains and 5 hours from Myrtle Beach on the Atlantic Ocean so I just settled here after my tour with the US Army.

Just trying to learn and be Smart! Dick

Welcome Dick,
And enjoy lurking around. If you want to have your possible future smart made to order, don't forget to put down your $99. Otherwise, you'll be stucked with an orphan.

Welcome dick29662. What part of the Hooser state do you come from? South Bend here, hoping to move south with in the next few years. Was checking out Ga in October. One of the brother in laws suggested SC. We've got a while to decide. Have fun lurking but be warned you'll be looking for ways to get a smart before the pickup's gone.

Welcome aboard, Dick! As mentioned, lurking can have predictable effects on your future motoring choices!
I am down in Columbia, and you'll find a great group of folks hanging out in the Carolinas forum. If so inclined (once a date is set), please feel free to join us at one of our breakfast meets (usually in Charlotte, around 10 or 10:30 on a Saturday morning).

Look around, ask questions, and prepare to break out the checkbook!
