Picked up my orphan last night!! Whoo hoo

Had to drive to sarasota (+230 miles one way)

Just made it to the dealership 2 minutes before they closed the doors.

They stayed and we drove home the car last night!

Dealership was fantastic, price was right, delivery was as expected.


Local dealers had/have 130+ people waiting for orphans, i only waited a couple of weeks - whoo hoo, the phone is a wonderful invention!

Love the car so far....

lots of looks, lots of conversation at the stop lights.

pictures to be uploaded soon!

I don't think i will be driving it too much...

My mother took it, went to the beach, top down, cruising the ft. lauderdale strip.

Needless to say, she was approached by so many people and actually had a guy take pictures of her and the car.

This morning i was ready to go to work, and she tells me...
"i need the 'tick' today - i am going to show the people at work"

So the name of the car has gone from
I R SMRT
to
tick

LOL

I see all types of cars in Ft Lauderdale that are probably over 100k.

And I bet the Smart gets more looks and wows that all of them.
