Newbie in Tulsa

mrdezyne · 05-21-2008, 08:47 AM

So I was all set to pick up a scooter this week when my wife calls me up and says, "hey, lets go take a look at the Smart Car first"... (I knew she was a good one when I married her). Went by Jackie Cooper Imports in Tulsa where they have a few on display and had just recieved a shipment over the weekend to be delivered to a few lucky owners.

We both took the test drive and came back with smiles from ear to ear. So, today at lunch I will be headed down there to put my order in. Nothing fancy, a basic white pure with A/C and the sunroof panel. I'm a fan of small interesting cars and this will be a nice addition to the current collection of an MX-5, 914, M3, 55 Chev (not so small), and Nissan Frontier.

I have already started looking for wheels and accessories to make my Pure my own. I hope the gang on this forum will help guide me in the right direction, custom is the name of my game as I can't leave well enough alone....

Nice to meet you all, my name is Curt.

Welcome to the forum Curt. You couldn't hope for a better group to seek advice from.

Hi Curt and welcome.

Thanks gang, I usually hang out on Bimmerforums where I helped start a local BMW club, BMW Motorsports OF Oklahoma, yeah, BMWMOFO... HA! Is there a coordinated chapter or group of Smartie owners in Oklahoma? I love to take weekend drives with fellow owners and enthusiasts, and I'm sure this Pure will become yet another addiction as have my other projects....

Did you happen to see an all black cabrio at the dealer?

I know there was one silver/black cabrio there and possibly an all black one up on the display area, I guess you are expecting yours just any day now? Congrats!!!

So what do you guys do for a year while you wait? I'm still going to get a cheapy Chinese scooter I think, surely it will last a year until the smartie gets here...

Welcome, mrdezyne: I also live in Tulsa. You are making a great choice. Be sure and have Lori at Tulsa Smart Car Center put you on their "orphan list". You never know, you might get one earlier that way.

I just got an email from Tulsa and they said it was incoming within the next 10 days. So, we will see.

Lori, she's the redhead right? I did get my name on the list, thanks. She said I had a pretty good chance of getting an orphan since I ordered such a plain jane model, she said most people want particular items or colors, I just want a new smartie!

Keep us informed smarticus! I'm sure you are jumping at the phone every time it rings... Hey, I'd be happy to deliver it to you in Arkansas... LOL!
