Hello friends,I'm posting today to let you know that our baby is at Plaza Motors in St.Louis.We will hopefully be picking it up on Thursday morning.After an eleven month wait time of living vicariously through the enthusiasm of all of you, our time of actually having our own smart is almost here.I hope that you can feel me smiling.

I would like to add my $.02 if I may. Tomorrow is the Big Day!! My wife & I will be taking delivery of her "little Wii car". It is a silver Brabus Cabrio, loaded. We had a DDE of 5/23/2009 to 8/21/2009, expecting delivery on or about 6/23/2009. However, the dealer found an exact match orphan on Apr 2. Total gestation time = 8 months. Not long by the usual standards, but long enough. My wife, for most of the time, was indifferent about delivery dates. But, once the real deal was on shore, it has been difficult to rein her in. She is doing whatever it takes to shift swap and get the time off to pick her up. I have already ordered some $1200 in extras to put on. I have some work cut out ahead.
