Do you find yourself driving alone more than 75% of the time, Then YES.

Remember, Gas prices will eventualy go back up and by then you will have fallen in love with it.

:woohooBy the way, Lucky You!!:woohoo

Sell it. Keep some of the proceeds and donate a respectable amount to your favorite charitable organization. Everyone wins...

Once you drive it, I think you will really like it. I really like driving my little car.

Were you on the Price is Right or something?

There's a ziilion posts here why you'd want the car so why do you ask?

I think you should donate it to a non-profit - "Me" jumps to mind! (just kidding). Ask yourself the following questions:

1. What do I look for in a car?
2. Do I prefer the small car ride, or do I like to feel like I am in command of a star cruiser?
3. What are your other driving options? (Is your current ride, assuming you have one, aging/big and gas-guzzling, or just right for you?)
4. Does keeping it require you get rid of something else? Are you willing to do that?
5. Do you enjoy talking to strangers?
6. Can you answer an ill-thought-out question, without starting a riot? (Like, as you pump gas into your ride, you hear "Is that an electric?")
7. Is parking a problem in your current ride?
8. Would keeping it bring a smile to your face, and a warm spot inside, or would you be unchanged by your decision to keep it?

If you can answer all of those, one way or the other, you will probably have your answer.

I think just about everyone on this site LOVES their smart car and wonders WHY would you give it up?

Some folks here have been waiting 1-1 1/2 yrs for their smart car to arrive!

If you read through the forums you will see how much the smart car means to us. For some, it's our primary car, for most others, it's a second car; the smart car usually gets driven the most while there's a gas guzzler in the garage to be used for heavy duty hauling.

The car is alot of fun to drive and has personality!

It's a car that you either connect with or not...it's not for everyone!
