My first sighting in the "wild", a smart passion red/black still with the temporary tag, Wednesday April 2nd, 2008 around Dupont Circle/Connecticut Ave. & 19th St. at 11:35 AM.


(took me few seconds to arm and shoot the phone...)

I saw a bruiser on my way to physiotherapy in my bumblebee. And when I stopped for gas (second time in 600 miles!) tonight, the attendant said he'd seen a red/black one that morning. I know they're out there!

I have only seen one in the wild. I was driving North on 130 in my Blue/Black and a Blue/Silver was traveling South on 130. This was about two weeks ago, I haven't seen one since.

I am zipping around town in my Red Pure Smart and saw another owned by a roofing company. I was waving enthusiastically and just received a nod passing by. Does anyone else get stopped 10 times a day to talk about the car? Sometimes I feel like I am driving around in a fish bowl.

A bumblebee cabrio, saturday April 12, around midnight, on Tilden, just off Connecticut Ave.

Just had dinner with friends. The host was driving some guests home. We were excited about the impending arrival of mine. Upon seeing the bumblebee they all said "how cute, you have to give us a ride when...".

Should I sell tickets? How much? A meal (as another smartie does)?
