Here A Smart ... There A Smart ... Everywhere A Smart, Smart...

For an imported car with remarkably low numbers hitting our shores, I sure do see a damned LOT of Smarts running around here in Orange County, California. Could this be the sacred Golden Triangle of Smarties? I've seen cars Smart from Beverly Hills, Walters (out in Riverside) and Laguna Niguel.

And I see em ALL THE DAMNED TIME! In fact, there's even a USED Smart at a Mitsubishi dealership over on Harbor Blvd (the street you go to if you want to buy a car here in So. Cal, apparently)! Not a day goes by that I don't see one or two! I've even seen a lime green one! Saw a yellow and a silver one just today!

Sheesh! What's all this talk about wait times and the rarity of the Smart?

Your pal,
Meat.

I am a truck driver for GE. My route is Orange County. I have seen two yellow smarts in the past three months. I live in Uptown whittier Ca and work out of Pico Rivera ca. I have had my Smart for sixs weeks and still have not come across another Smart in my area yet. Truly hope it will be a little longer till I do. : )

I don't know, but it makes for a heck of a picture no? It really trips people out.
