Was just at the Hawthorne Safeway and when I came out one of the city's 450s was in the lot. Don't really know that it counts, since the driver wasn't the owner.

Friday morning on the way into work, that bumblebee that's been haunting 34th & Belmont was just pulling around the corner ahead of us. We made the light onto Belmont and were headed into town behind him, but he didn't seem to be looking in the rearview to see if he was possibly being followed by a smart.

As the street spread out into multiple lanes down around 12th, he moved into the right lane and we pulled up beside, with Barbara waving. She said he looked a little startled at first.

Friday afternoon, I chased down a black/blue smartie coupe in K'wick near Vista Field (his seems to want to go faster than mine ;). Turns out he has one and his mother also one in same colors but a cabrio that he got from scPDX.

He is a realtor so you may have seen him out anywhere between Columbia Center and Horn Rapids. I sensed that his smart was a smart choice for all his running around.

He's not on the forum, but give Jeff a toot and wave!

Passed a red/black who was going east on I-84 while I was going west, near 181st this afternoon.

He didn't see me.

It may have been me, did it have a checkered flag look?

I would have noticed that!
Nope, straight up red and black.
Today on I-84 around noon, saw a bumblebee!
I haven't seen any on the east side and in two days I see two!

Hello to all you headed toward the Gorge!

I haven't seen other smarts for weeks from Wilsonville to Clackamas to the Gateway area and I catch a Black/Black on Glisan near 205 and a bumblebee on 102nd by Gateway, both within 15 minutes!

I'm glad we're getting more Smarts in the area. I'd love to notice at least a few every week.
