Don't believe that many people were that willing to take a chance on something that might be a just a "possibly" (but will admit that we did take that chance ourselves after actually looking at a SMART while in Canada but the wife wasn't completely sold on idea until she had a actual test drive in Alanta).

actually, the process started on the 19th of March. however, several of us (thousands) were already on an information e-mail list ever since the announcement was made that the Smart would finally be coming to the US. Those people on that list were sent notification as soon as the $99 program was established which is why some of us were able to register on the day it launched.
that said, you are in a lot better shape than a lot of people but make no mistake, there are thousands in front of you i would guess.
