Spotted a one-month old '09 black/red passion at Round Table Pizza on Clearwater in Kennewick tonight on my way home from Keizer Iris Fest.

Spotted in Hollywood (Portland) today at noon - 08 Red/Silver coupe crossing in front of me NE 39th on Hancock.

It struck me how very tiny a smart is!

Hello everyone, and tomorrow there will be another SMART in the NW.
I'm picking my Smartie up in Southcenter.

I'm more happy about the smart then the BMW 128i I just bought 2 weeks ago.
And my momy is working for the company in Germany that makes smart plastic parts. (another reason to get one)

Ya be save, see ya on I-5.

Road trip sighting yesterday: a blue/silver cabrio with real-estate advertising on it in Walla Walla at 2nd & Rose while we were stopped, getting ready to turn into the gas station there.

Then a hardtop bumblebee in Portland on SE 39th between Hawthorne and Yamhill as we were almost home from the trip this afternoon.

Sadly, Stendahl picked up a dime-sized star crack in the windshield today, just 40 miles short of home after 700 miles on this trip and just over 11,000 miles over the past fourteen months....

Darrel - sorry about Stendahl's injury. I'm thinking of windshield protectant - have replaced the windshield once and have numerous cosmetic chips again.

Meantime - saw a bruiser (blue/black) at NE 60th and Glisan @ lunch time today while taking zippy out for a spa treatment.


PS - I sold real estate in Walla Walla for 5 years in the 90's. Nice to know smarts reached that far into eastern WA

Not sure. My wife noted that it was a realty company but didn't catch the name. We were pleasantly startled just running into a smart in Walla Walla.

Between this morning and this evening, the star grew into a crack across a third of the windshield, on the driver's side.
