The long wait is coming one step closer to an end. I got my 30 day notice on Friday that my smart is scheduled to arrive in Seattle, Washington. Ethan (smart center's general manager), checked into it and said he believes I should have it by the end of February. Man, I am so stoked! This is where time suddenly slows to a crawl -lol-
Went to the dealer to look at a few fortwos. Man, I checked under the car... you know, the engine could use an optional brush plate for protection. That oil filter looks pretty vulnerable hanging under there like that. Living in the northwest... I'd be very careful taking this on a dirt road and driving over any rocks.
Anyways... at least I now have a VIN. Too bad the one's coming to Seattle can't be tracked (I tried it- won't work).
"Cheers!"
