Up Late in Terre Haute, IN

[fortinjlf]

Suffering from late-night munchies and was bored. Anyhow, I stopped in at the Smart dealer in Indy this eve and was impressed with what I saw. They had a few cars sitting around, and I just had to nose around in all them. Later in talking to the sales rep, I was surprised to find such a long-time wait list on the vehicle of my choice.

I'll probably go back in a week or two and plunk down the 99 Georges for a white,silver,beige passion. So I'll be keeping an eye on this forum. I will be looking for ideas on accessories, especially the addition of Sat radio and criuse control. From what I was able to glean today, I guess there is now an aftermarket kit available for the cruise.

Better stop now and try to get something useful accomplished. Nite all!

Hey, welcome fortinjlf ! As you can see, I'm also in Terre Haute I'm expecting delivery by the end of the year! You can place your reso online at smart USA - open your mind to the car that challenges the status quo, you don't have to go all the way to Indy. PM me and let me know where your located! (just PM'd you)

So, have to get the real answer from actual residents:

Is it pronounced "Terra Haut" as spelled, or "Terra Hut" as some folks in Ohio say it?

DUH!! a "Buckeye", go figure......EVERYONE knows how to pronounce the city, but if you got any 'nads', you'll ask him how you pronounce the COUNTY he's in!!!! Vigo County....is it "v-EE-go" or "v-EYE-go

GOOD LUCK with that!!!

oh, and btw 'sleepless in Terre Haute', just do as "Chief" suggested..ORDER ONLINE! much easier and you can save yourself a trip to Indy.

on the other hand, if you were coming to Indy anyway, then drop in and plop down your 99 Georges. OR better yet, take in 9,900 Abraham Lincolns, the round, brown kind. i'm sure they'll be thrilled to see you!

That's as bad as Argos...most pronounce it like it's spelled, but everyone that lives here pronounces it Argus!

Depends on whose talking

[fortinjlf]

There may be a few dissenters but as earlier noted, it's Terre Hote and
Veego(although a lot of people DO say Veyego.

I do go to Indy quite a bit, so I'm not at all concerned about the trip over there.

By the way, I'm not really not a Boiler fan.
