Hello Everyone!
Ummm... sorry to convey that I am not yet a fortunate owner of a Smart Fortwo. I am hugely interested in the soon to be release BRABUS models.... leaning towards the classic black colored version if the truth be told. Anyway, my current plan to is coordinate an order and purchase during mid 2010.
A little about myself (as for introduction): I'm retired military (2004) and live in Olympia, Washington.... and work at Fort Lewis, Washington (I'm a Department of the Army Civilian employee). I drive a 2001 Jaguar S-type; I'm the original owner and purchased it for myself back in 2001 as a sort of self-gift (big surprise that, no?

). I was grew-up in Michigan... heck, everyone on my Father's side of the family works for General Motors Corporation (to include my identical twin brother, no kidding), yet other than a six year stint with a Chevrolet Silverado truck, I've never been much into GM vehicles. Go figure?
Anyway, next year I really,
REALLY intend to get myself into a Smart fortwo vehicle, come Hades or high water

. The wife isn't really too excited about that proposition.... my getting rid of my Jaguar for a small commuter car.... but then again, she doesn't ever have to drive it if she doesn't care to, right??!!!
Enough of my babbling already. I greatly look forward to communicating with some of you, and am not too looking forward to the exercise in patience I'm forcing onto myself by waiting until 2010 to get myself into one of these fantastic, wonderful vehicles.
