Austin Smart Sightings

Until I receive my Passion I'm sure I'm going to get pretty excited every time I see a Smart in Austin so I'm going to post here every time I see one.

Today on 7th Street near I-35 I spotted a blue/black Fortwo coupe with a beautiful blond driving it. I also saw a yellow/black coupe parked downtown near Brazos.

A few weeks ago my friend Paul received his White/black coupe and I took a few pics of it.

I haven't seen many in town yet, but last month I went to Round Rock and saw about 20 being unloaded from a car carrier. Didn't have my camera with me though.

Today at Guadalupe & 15th I saw a blue Fortwo with a bike & bike rack on the back of it. I think it was a cabrio with the top up but I didn't get a very clear view of it.

For easily over a year now I've seen a yellow Smart in Southwest Austin with dealer plates. I'm sure he must have imported it from Canada or Mexico.

I was looking through my photos from last year and noticed a red/silver Smart in the background of this photo. I took it on August 25th, 2007 so I wonder if it was a factory demo car or something like that. I'm really surprised that I didn't take any photos of it by itself.

Today I spotted a blue & yellow wrapped Fortwo on Guadalupe near 9th Street. Then I saw a red/black & a silver/black Smart cars on 6th street near the Texas lotto office. Then after that I saw a white/black one at 6th and lavaca.

Here are a couple of photos of the one with the wrap.

Yesterday my friend brought his white Passion to a meet we had and I took it for a little test drive to make sure I would like it. It's definitely a fun little car.

Then when I was leaving the country club I saw a silver Cabrio.
