Truckloads headed into Texas

Coming out of Wally World, a woman doing a close examination of my car. After the usual interview, she said she had just come from Texas and saw "trucks and trucks" headed into Texas with smarts as their cargo.
I didn't think to ask her to quantify "trucks and trucks", I'd take that to mean more than two. Or when her trip was, but sounded like she just got back. Sorry, can't be more specific, just thought someone might find this interesting.

Oh, she had a wonderful English accent. I'm a pushover for that

They bring in trucks then unload on Monday was at dealer yesterday buying accessories they said they were waiting on Smarts to arrive, they said they come in put in closed location then take to dealer. I did notice that they had three there one was being test drove saw leave. The others were looking at the other it had last name on it in winshield and they were showing people freely sitting in it and look all inside it. I think that is wrong wish I new who's it was I know last name started with B I won't say rest of name. One of the ladies that sat in it was wearing so much perfume as well. I guess they are freely to customers until owner picks up.

Who would have thought we'd have to tell a dealer not to use our cars as demonstrators, let people sit in them, slam the doors, etc. But I guess that's something else to add to the checklist.

When I get my vin, the smart center is getting explicit directions against this. I will be the first one after the techs to be in my car!

I wonder if there are any at the state fair?
Lots of seat time and door slaming.

Good luck on getting your vin. I never got mine until mine showed up (but that was back in January )
