What is the Smart Car owner stereotype?

I've only see a few in OK so it's hard to say here.

There isn't one?

At the dealership where I work, I have sold smarts to 16 year olds (OK, to their parents) who were just starting to drive and all the way up to a 93 year old Great Grandmother (her 12 Great Grandkids bought the smart for her birthday)? And everywhere in between.

So, my experience is There isn't a stereotype smart owner?

So all of the buyers were of the same race?

Not that you should go there, but I've seen every skin color that's under the rainbow own and drive a smart.

From what I've seen, most smart owners have common sense. Frugal but don't want to follow the other sheep by driving something everyone else has.

Now I know that you stereotype the average smart owner as hating Amsoil, but I actually like the stuff. Guess I'm not average. OH NO I JUST DIDN'T GO THERE!! I said it!! Amsoil Amsoil Amsoil Amsoil Amsoil Amsoil Amsoil Amsoil Amsoil Amsoil Amsoil Amsoil!!

Especially if one thinks of them as being part of the human race.
