smart Sightings Thread

I'm starting this thread in anticipation of this happening more often as smarts are delivered.

I had my first sighting of another smart yesterday while heading home from the Rose Bowl meet (I consider the encounter with SmartyPants25 a meeting).

Spotted a guy driving a black Cabrio with silver tridion. He was making a right turn from the northbound Fair Oaks in Pasadena. I know he saw me because he was looking right at me while driving away.

Anyone here?

I saw one on Sunday in Beverly Hills, I was the passenger in my friends car, she saw it first. The quick glance I got looked like an all silver 450. Ever since I got mine she sees one every day! I have yet to have an actual on road encounter with one though. But I have seen one at the Costo Gas Station!

Saw my first this morning on the way to the gym. It was in the Sherman Oaks - Studio City area. I wasn't in my smart though so I couldn't really do any type of smart to smart wave .

Saw first one yesterday. I parked at the high school with wife to go to the HS play and she asked me to go back out to the car to get something. When I got out there, here is what I saw ( mine's the black one):

FANTASTIC!
Why is that BMW so big???

So I kept saying that I wanted my car before I saw another one on the road** My husband's co-worker told him that a yellow one lives across the street from her.
Well, I took delivery on Saturday.
Saturday evening, I drove us to dinner.
In the parking lot of restaurant's strip mall, I SAW THE YELLOW ONE drive by!! HAAAA!! It didnt see me tho and I couldnt catch up with it!
I told Mr SmartyPantz that is was a good thing I had mine before I saw that...
