It's A Smart Not A Nano!

The other day I parked my Smart on the street just below my bedroom window. I can see my Smart from my bed. I was playing around with my lap top when I heard two women passing by stop in front of my Smart. The first woman said "look its one of those $2000 dollar cars" (pretty sure she was talking about the Nano by Tata and it cost $2500 not $2000) The 2nd woman said "what"? Then the 1st women said again " yes I seen them on tv they cost $2000 dollars" 2nd woman "no you must be mistaking" 1st woman "I'm not lieing $2000!" as they walked away I could hear the 2nd woman once again " no that can't be right". Funny but I did get a little upset. Almost yelled out the window $2000 what tire do you want? Not upset because she thought my Smart was a Nano because truly I would not mind having a Nano myself. I went down stairs and stood in front of my car looking at it I thought dose this car look that cheap? Do you think your Smart looks cheap? Maybe because I have classic micro cars I know just because a car is small dosent mean its cheap. What do you think?

Don't let it bother you, I have a feeling misinformation about the Smart among the general populace will persist. Just the other day I was sitting it it reading a book while waiting for the spouse and I heard various people spouting all kinds of bad info (its electric, it had to be modified to meet safety standards, etc). At the time I simply didn't feel like interrupting any/all of the individuals to correct them. The interesting part is that although I was clearly sitting there nobody tried to ask me anything (which is a refreshing display of respecting someone's space actually), one guy even starting knocking on the outside of the car, as if to see what it was made of (he definitely was not trying to get my attention, I looked straight at him and he looked past me) - now that was annoying

You could always go with 'No No Nano' evoking the old musical comedy of a similar name
