My new addiction? (swatching color)

I had my first "swatching" today. Yes, lil silver monster is now lil red devil.

For those who've swapped panels, how do you like it? Would you do it again?

Even tho its only been a couple of hours, I couldn't be happier! It's almost like getting a brand new car!

Lost car!

I know there aren't a lot of Smarts out there yet, but I can only imagine how long it would take me to find my car in a parking lot if I changed the color of the panels! If it didn't cost so much, it would be a fun prank to pull on someone!!

Thanks, me too.


Funny thing is, for 5 months I've been coming home at the same time every day with the silver smart. There's always a bunch of children playing in the street. With the silver, they barely gave a nod.

Today they were all over my new "orange" car. They couldn't quit asking questions, circling it and smiling.

me too.

Glad you're enjoying the red. The people at work were very impressed that we could change colors. They like the silver better!
