How far do you think your smart dealership will be

I know that my smart center dealership will only be about 30 miles a way but how far do many of you plan on having to drive of commute to pick your smart fortwo up?

Middle of Nowhere, CO

215 miles to either Denver or Albuquerque (Albuquerque is a nicer drive, but I've been assigned to the Denver dealer)

If that seems a long drive, consider my options for other brands:

John Deere - 1 mile
Big Three - 17 miles
Toyota - 140 miles
MINI - 215 miles

(incidently there are several folks in town here who drive MINIs)

John Deere 10
Big Three and Toy 5
MINI 36

Alot closer to anything here, but I'd rather be there. I used to live in Evergreen and slog through Glenwood Canyon (before the 4 lane) to Grand Junction every week.

3 miles from home and around the corner from work. Can't be much closer than that.

220 miles to Albuquerque, but at least there is a dealer there. It was a few years after the Mini came out before there was an Albuquerque dealer. In `03 I had to go 400 miles to Arlington ,TX for one.

Well, so far, I've got all of you beat. I live close to Little Rock, Arkansas and the road tour hasn't even come by here yet. The closest to me will be probably Tulsa, OK which I'm planning on going to test drive one on Oct. 13th. The other closest location is Dallas, TX. I have relatives that live in Tulsa, so I will be going there probably. I don't even know for sure if there will be a dealer in Tulsa (or Dallas for that matter) but I hope so. That is approx. 300 miles for me. Guess I want one pretty bad.
