No bashing here.

I find it interesting that each person has their own 'Yardstick" to measure value, preference, beauty, Right & Wrong etc. and that's great.
Where I stray from so many, is they want me to validate their yardstick and yet feel no compunction about not validating mine, yours or anyone Else's.

The only exception to the above, in my constitution, is "Common courtesy proportionately equal to the Rules of society.

An example of my "Yardstick":
Have you ever bought something that, even you, knew was foolish, and yet, the longer you had it, the more you're pleased you bought it ?

What is the value of the following?:
Every time I look at, think of, or mentally picture my Smart, I involuntarily smile.

Buy postage stamps one at a time so you can justify driving to the post office again.

Suggest driving to your Mother-in-law's so you may drive your Smart.

There are more examples but you might think I am a mite obsessed.

It is possible that just maybe, The Wow factor won't wear off.

Okay here goes again. We took delivery of #2. This one is a Cabrio. It's a completely different performing car. Shifts much more smoothly less engine noise, feels better built. We drove both cars down sunset last night and parked in a single parking space.

I got mine yesterday.

Second in Beverly Hills. The people could not have been nicer. I felt like I was buying a 300k Maybach.

Of all the pics I've seen, and all the pics I would like to see, on this forum I think a pic of your two Smarts in one parking space, in a garage full with full-sized cars is the one I would treasure the most.

It would also make a great wordless advert. (Billboard). Anybody remember the early VW Ads ?
