This waiting is killing me....

I've wanted a smart car every since I saw Davinci code with Tom Hanks. We finally decided to get one with the cash for clunkers program. They were able to get one from port with the color and options we wanted. They aren't open on Sunday, but we went to go visit our little red baby anyway. We can't get it until 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday. We had to make an appointment...I think they must have a lot of customers for this cash for clunkers program. So, we just have to wait our turn

I sure hope the government doesn't run out of money by then. I know they allocated a billion dollars, but it's a big country!

This cash for clunkers program rocks! We tried to sell our '94 Ford conversion this summer, couldn't even get anyone to look at it! Now we're getting $4500 for it! Woo Hoo!!!

BTW, love this forum!

Wow. Sounds like you'll have to wait a whole few days. I bet you wouldn't been able to stand the year long wait some us had to endure.

Patience, they'll be plenty enough to go around.

AND an early Congrats on the new car! Don't mention it, seems I always do everything premature.....

What he said! Even in my attempt to circumvent the wait by taking an orphan, it still took me over 8 months.

One year almost exactly for me, but definitely worth the wait! My little poppy is 13 months old now, and as wonderful now as she was then. Love....ahhhhhhh!

Don't feel too sorry for 'jet'....he's already got ONE in his garage (claims it's his wifes, but I don't think he lets her drive it), so he's had fun with that one for several months.

I guess he's 'stepping up' a notch.......I'll say no more, only that they'll have 'Mr and Mrs Fuel' smarts!

We hope to some day be able to 'keep up with the Fuels'!

The apointment is so you get the time and attention you deserve. Take your time durring delivery and make the tech you how to get in and out of the engine compartment, Teach you how to get to the battery, Teach you how to get to your washer fluid. Don't just let them show you, you need to do it for your self. I don't want you comming back saying I cant get my thingamajig to fit into the dohicky when I try and get to the Blinker fluid
