There were four parked on the street in front of my hotel in Paris today. One had all its body parts held together with duct tape. It's OK to bump and rub a little when you park in Paris.

lemme get this straight.....you are in Paris in the spring and wasting your time on this forum?




Go to Monet's Garden at Giverny. We were there one year ago this week, and it was quite simply the most beautiful, breathtaking place I've ever seen. It's an hour or so by train outside Paris, and a short, lovely walk from the station.

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?

I've got a camera in the car, and since all the local Smarts seem to be attracted to me like strippers who know I've just been to the ATM, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before I see the green one again. When I get a pic I'll post it here.

Your pal,
Meat.

Springlering, I agree when you said, "Go to Monet's Garden at Giverny". It was beautiful and so was the little town. We had a personal driver but I bet the train ride was nice too. Wish I could have gone to Versaille to see the Palace. Oh well, another smart time.

Giverny was excellent, as was Versailles. The weather was beautiful. Today we are in Germany and toured the gardens of Schloss Schwetzingen outside of Heidleberg. Lost count of how many smarts I have seen.

2 blue ones

I saw two blue ones in my driveway this week, mine and my mother-in-law's.
