Time from reservation to driving home an orphan was around 5 months. I assumed I'd never get an orphan so I didn't bother trying. Apparently that old ass/u/me axiom still holds true.

Congratulations rwjrn!

Sounds like a really unique fortwo with the two-tone leather. Glad to hear you grabbed it without hesitation, hope to see it in person at some future gathering.

Got mine in 3 days!
Went to test drive a silver/ black with red interior on a Wednesday; loved it, but I can buy right away because I did not get an ok from my, who is buying my car yet. Made a appointment for Friday to purchase the car, but it was sold the day before. I throw a fit, and the sales person immediately made available a blue/black with leather. I bought it on the spot, fearing if take a second to think, someone else would take it from me.

So I said "F" that, "I want that togo".

I'm very happy with the service at my dealership because they still came through for me on Friday even though I was only on the list for 3-days.

So for those who wants to get a Smart quick, be as flexible a you can, and you will get a Smartie faster than you expect.

Hope to see you guys on the road soon....
