They're getting closer (to home)

I'm starting to see about 2 Smarts per month, (my mom sees Smarts everyday, because her route to work passes by the local Smart dealer).
Yesterday I saw a slightly pearl colored Bumblebee in the parking lot of Sam's Club. The way the paint reflected the sun made it look even cooler. I did not remember what its plates were. It distracted an oncoming driver to the point where he almost crashed into several peds and vehicles. A cop even parked next to it just to peek inside the windows!

Also, as I was driving my mom was telling me how she passed by the dealer and saw a black one that its front was covered in a flame wrap. I wish I saw that!

Anyway, is it just me, or are Smarts spreading like a disease! It just seems like I see Smarts closer to my house every month!

Far from common here, but I do see them driving around town every few days or so.

Still few and far between here, but being about 100 miles from the nearest dealer most likely makes some diference.

We saw two today: one on Route 2 in CT heading towards Foxwoods, and another in RI heading south on 95. And my parents called from FL to say they had seen on in a parking lot for the first time.

One passed by my front door yesterday! That makes my count to 3 Smarts per month!

My mom still sees them everyday when she passes by the dealer
