I don't know if I can stand the wait! The car was loaded, on 8/22 and will be arriving in MD then head to Boston. I wonder how long it will take from MD to MA? I had never seen a Smart car, up close, till I test drove one 8/23 and signed all the papers. I was very happy and knew what to expect, thanks to all of you on the forum. It is going to be perfect for our commute! I got the yellow w/black, the 2 "eyes" on the dash and the comfort package. I also got the extended warrenty and travel guard. For some reason I was thinking I was going to get it Aug 09.....a pleasant surprise. In fact the same car came in that day in Somerville but it was not mine. It was fun watching them unload the little ones.
