Smart Therapy

[Springlering]

A while back, someone posted that their Smart was cheaper than a therapist, and a lot more fun.

Driving home from work this evening I was reminded of this post as I sat in traffic with the top down, a favorite band blaring, and envious eyes upon me. I've lost some weight, gotten a new wardrobe, adopted possibly the loudest shade of pink lipstick on the planet, feel more confident, damn right it's cheaper than therapy.

I feel like I've come out of the boring-closet.

I almost wish I could convince Penske to slow down deliveries, bwahahahaha!!!! *ducks for cover*

awe.... you don't want the rest of us to feel as great as you do?

oh, yes, absolutely I do, I do! But I'm only suggesting this for your own good.

Picture this. Lots of happy even keeled Americans running around in astoundingly cute, inexpensive, fuel efficient cars. If it all happens too fast, it could send the whole country into a turmoil.

People would open doors for one another and say, "after you, no please, I insist"; The news would have to cease "if it bleeds, it leads" and run only happy stories; Thugs would hand out daisies and wish you a nice day; Scientific breakthroughs would reveal that Hershey bars were fat free all along, after all. Politicians would become sincere, and politics meaningful and relevant once again.

The very fabric of America would be rocked.


(Quick, someone give Rev Wright a Smart car!!!!!)

Very cute, but it's always been my nature to be suspicious of those telling me about what's for my own good.

Anyway, Springerling, I am so happy that you're so happy! A little envious, but still happy!

Or in other words, we're all about to become Canadian...?

We could do a lot worse than becoming Canadian.

Hey, I'm not ashamed to quote myself... here was my original post you referenced (bold and underline added), and very happy to hear the update, thanks! You made my day.

But, as far as economy, I've gone from, "Let's save money," to, "Let's go drive somewhere, ANYWHERE!" (Who cares what it costs!?!)

I've also become a little elitist, thinking, "If only people reaaaaally knew what it was like to own one of these..." My first consideration when running errands or going to work is where can I park... in order to be most visible to others? Talking smart is a constant blast, taking me from quiet and reserved to a way-off-the-chart goofball in a split-nanosecond.

So... the smart has released the inner me. And it was cheaper than getting a therapist!

Here's a question for y'all... if you had to choose just ONE word to describe WHAT owning a smart SAYS about you personally, what would that ONE word be???

(Hint: thrifty, practical, emotional, rebellious, offbeat, shallow, smart (d'oh), self-assured, leader, crazy, different, maverick, sensible, adventuresome, bold, simple, minimalist, egotistical, hedonistic, narcissistic, quiet, unassuming, irreverent, daring, honest, straightforward, playful, carefree, laid-back... what's YOUR one word???)

What inner-you has the smart released?
