wow, not sure either...but just looking at the two numbers:

1180 105135
1185 122360

that's 17225 cars for just five days difference in reservations...not sure that is an accurate comparison...but eventually someone will figure it all out

According to a previous post, about 1/3 of production is coming to the states right now, so 1/3 of 17225 is about 5500, for a 5 day period. Impressive.

Maybe they run cars for various countries/markets in batches. I don't have my car yet but I am an 1176 and my vin is 1041XX. That's only a little more than 100 away from Vander's 1180.

Vander - I have my insurance for Gidget through AAA so they can give you a quote no problem ... not sure what your rep is telling you - I got it with no problems at all. Also, I belong to USE Credit Union and they financed the car without a blink ... had really good rates too ... mine is like 5.375% or something like that. You might want to check them out if you can join.

Sha-na-na ... do you have a VIN? I'm still laying odds the white/silver/red is yours. Go check the VIN against the car ... remember I wouldn't have known if Gidget was here if you hadn't seen the VIN there on the lot. I never got a call from Udo at all. (I still owe you ED for that by-the-way)

hey roverallover:

thanks for the information...

I finally got a quote from AAA...higher than I wanted but I still have two teenagers at home, so Im sure the rate was higher than normal...

my credit union also said my loan app was approved...they had just never loaned for a smart before...

Im going to the dealership on thursday to do all the paperwork and hopefully take her home that day!!!

Im still working on a name!!!

my vin was 105135 and my reservation was an 1180, how does that compare with yours...Im interested to see how people's vins compare with there reservation numbers...the folks with 1173 reservations had cars in the 80,000 range...

My vin is #108383. Any clues or cues??? You don't understand how much I need this car. Long story...anyone have a skateboard I can borrow??

Pardon the intrusion of a non-San Diegan. Add to your data base: 1176 with a VIN of 105242. My car is just up the road in Riverside but looks like circumstances will preclude pick-up before Saturday or Monday. Going to the bank today to get some money. Congratulations to this week's winners.

P.S. As a San Diego News and Info lurker, I'm with Rover on the theory that Shanna's is already here.

Gene_SD: My res number is also 1185 but I don't have my VIN yet. How did you get it?

[Gene_SD]

JTT, I received an e-mail from "Udo" and he passed it on to me.
