First 2009 Configuration?

[Sunnyhere]

I thought I would be one of the last to configure a 2008, but things changed:
Dear smart fortwo Reservation Holder,
Recently you were invited to configure your smart fortwo. At this time the configurator is currently undergoing maintenance. As a result, the configurator will be unavailable until early next week.
You will receive a new invitation to configure no later than Tuesday. Your delivery timeframe to receive your vehicle will not be delayed.
We apologize for the inconvenience and we look forward to your configuration.

Kind regards,

The smart USA Team
and I received a new invitation to configure, in the middle of last night. So, ten minutes ago I logged into the configurator and did the dirty deed.


Originally I was excited for a white/silver with red interior Passion. Then, I started reading about all the troubles with the panorama roof and keeping the 42 cool in the summer. Living in the Mojave Desert, I'm keenly sensitive to these issues. I don't like sun/moon roofs anyhow, so that got me thinking about the Pure.


Fast Forward...I configured a white/black Pure with air conditioner and alarm system. I plan to paint the tridion and black body parts white, to match the body. I also plan to re-upholster the interior red and white*. The wheels will be covered with moon wheel covers. I have a radio 10 coming.

*The colors of the University of Wisconsin-Madison

I didnt even realize I was configuring an '09 till this morning when I saw that yellow was gone and the hard top option was there.

I got the new red. Cliffjumper was just as cool as Bumblebee.

#1386 here in Richmond, VA and I just config'd mine. Glad I was checking my e-mail today vs tomorrow. They still will not start on it until October. At least my 2009 is configured. I hope to receive it prior to December.
