I Love Your Car!!!!!!

[headless]

I get to work early as the carpark is not big enough for everybody's car, and I sit and listen to the radio and have a lovely cup of coffee out of my insulated mug.
Well, this morning a work collegue came over while I was sitting in the car, and she said, Oh it's your car, I have been admiring it for ages, I love it, you do the same job as me, how can you afford a Ferrari?
I was in stitches, why do you think it is a Ferrari?, I said, and she pointed to the little yellow Lion Rampant flag, (it is one of the flags of Scotland) that I put on my arial, that is a Ferrari badge, is'nt it?
So I explained it is a Scottish flag, and that the car was a smart car, she did'nt believe me, she even went round the back to look at the badges, but I have debadged, so I had to show her the steering wheel, that had smart written on it, for her to believe me.

You're so lucky they aren't making those "Ferrari's" anymore. I would have bought one of them over the fortwo.

I think these are cooler than Ferrari's; Nice picture.

Thanks guys, the roadster is a cool car, but it does'nt look anything like a Ferrari, it is really a tiny car, Ferrari's are usually big wide cars, it looks more like a Lotus Elise if anything, 2 kids once shouted as I drove past, "Nice Lotus, Mister"
I sometimes park beside a Toyota MR2 mark 2, and the smart looks tiny compared to even that.

I was joking when I said it was "Ferrari". I want a roadster! I can see the forfour going but they need to bring back the roadster.

It's not going to happen, it is reputed that each roadster made cost £18,000, and they were sold for £13,500 in Britain, do the math, they used the roady as a testbed for a lot if the electronics so wrote off the loss that way.
The old Honda Insight hybrid car of the early 90's was the same, each one being sold for a loss.

They're bringing the Insight back though which is crazy. They don't look like a shoe on wheels anymore.

When I bought my car a year ago I decided to joke around and put a sticker on my car. Now a year ago it seemed as almost NO ONE knew what a Smart was.....so they thought it was a Ferrari.

Oddly enough, when my wife was in college she had a 3dr Mazda 323 with a real nice set of factory looking American wheels. I had de-badged the whole car and then threw set of authentic Ferrari stickers I had bought a few years earlier in Maranello, Italy. It actually was a cool looking little car. Sure enough, one day a med student with a stone dead serious look on his face asked how she could afford to have a Ferrari . She told him it was a Mazda but he said, "but it's got the emblems!".

A picture of my car a year ago when I got it....
