Dory is now real -- she's no longer a Photoshop concept. The dealership picked her up yesterday morning and brought her back around 3 pm. They even sent a truck with the extra body panels in it. And the local print shop came through too -- they did my lettering in one day -- it was installed by 5 pm!
So here she is, minus only the MY DORY license plate:
And here's Dory, for the imagination-impaired:
It looks better than it did on Photoshop! Congratulations on your Completely Unique Smartie. Now you can say that your Smartie is another expression of you!
I'm already being stopped everywhere. We were on our way into Austin last night to attend the ballet and a bunch of college kids on a street corner were yelling "We love your car!" The valet boys at the ballet were fighting over who would get to park her. After the performance, we stopped at a cafe for dessert. We could see Dory out the large picture windows in the restaurant. Several people walked up to her, circled her, peeked in the windows, and generally hung around admiring her for a while.

That looks really cool! When do you get the new plates?
PS - just noticed the rear hatch is low on the left side as most smarts seem to be; the glass will eventually rub on the upper tailgate panel, but it's easy to even up by adjusting the two top hinges.

How do you tell so that I can get them to fix it when I pick R2 up?

Wow! You have good eyes. We'll have them look at that the next time we're at the dealer. I need them to readjust the gas gauge too, but other than that everything is going great!
