Dropping in to say hi.

Hi all. I've had my Smart car for 6 days now. I was scheduled for a test drive in Seattle not knowing there were any available. I was expecting to put an order in or possibly get a trade-in but there was one in the right color combo so i came back the next day and drove home. Loving it! Didn't get the tire/wheel warranty but after reading some of the posts I believe I will. Are there gatherings or road runs in my area?

No waiting, that's the way to do it. Congrats on the new car and welcome!

Congratulations on your new car. I hope you have as much fun with yours as I've had with mine. And, welcome to the forums!

Looks like you saw the Bellingham notice already, but there is an earlier (and longer) event in early May as well.

Welcome aboard. What a thrill to drive these cars. Let the fun begin.

Welcome! It's a blast to drive and after some time you'll grow to like the little oddities the car has that make it unique.

Hi there, bluedragon! I've also had mine for going on 2 weeks now. loveLoveLOVE it! I also wanna participate in get-togethers, rallies, parades, &c. But they all seem to happen earlier on Saturdays, & I work until 1p. Hopefully something turns up on a Sunday in the future!

Welcome Bluedragon! It's been just 6 weeks for me - the thrill hasn't worn off yet. Had put my deposit down in February, took a spin and sitting in the show room was a Smart that had more options than I would probably order. Couldn't wait - we too went back and purchased one, too. No regrets.

Welcome to the site! Pretty cool that you can walk up and buy the car now.

Welcome to the club!! The fun is just beginning!! I'm in Olympia, and there are a couple of upcoming events for us. The next one is the one leaving from the Monroe Safeway on Hwy 2 at 8:30 am on May 2nd, headed over to Leavenworth for lunch at Gustav's. Then the parade in Bellingham for the Ski-to-Sea festival on the 23rd. Coming in June, on the 20th., is a Show 'N Shine at the Redmond Top Foods, sponsored by smartcenter Seattle & Haggen Foods. There's also the Iris Festival Parade on May 16th. in Keizer, OR, just north of Salem. Hopefully, we'll also be returning to Prosser, WA later this year for the 2nd Annual Prosser Rally! We had a BLAST last September for the 1st. Prosser Rally!!
