Everyone Looks at the smart !!

Sometimes for too long !!

While plugging along at 20 mph in rush hour traffic, a large Dodge service van (the one made by Mercedes) was in the lane next to me.

He was looking to his right, smiling and checking out my smart.

He didn't notice the utility truck in front of him had stopped.

POW, right in the rear bumper !!

The utility truck received NO damage, the van, however, lost it's plastic bumper and steam was escaping from his now-damaged radiator.

Poor guy !! Now his day consisted of paperwork and urine samples.

A few weeks back, Wife and I are pulling out of a parking lot, a guy stops his car along side us, he had not completely pulled in, rolled down his window and started asking me questions. cars started to line up behind him I told him about the cars behind him, he said "They can wait"! went on asking questions. Told him we had to go, and left. P.S. His car was not close enough to hand him a card.

I like setting off the panic alarm when I see people looking at it at work. Classic.

Yeah, lots of camera phone pictures, lots of pointing, and lots of smiles and jeers. The guy at the veterinarian last week asked me if I just plug it in in my garage. I couldn't help but laugh.....

Yup, I had a girl on the back of a motorcycle snap a picture as the drove by the other evening. And if we're close enough my husband or I will put the top down. That usually makes people jump back almost as quick as the alarm.

I have found most Harley riders love the smart. I also get a kick out of bringing joy to so many people that see it on the road. I love the fact that my car makes so many people smile.
