New Jersey Spotted Thread

There are times I did not honk since it would startle people around me at an intersection or other places with traffic.

When I do honk, it takes some pressure to get the horn to work. Is this because I rarely use the horn or is it the horn itself?

On the way to work, I passed a black/black Fortwo going the other way. He was going from Trenton and I was going to Trenton. It was on Old Trenton Road. I waived but I do not think he saw me.

I am seeing more and more Fortwo's as time goes on. Once there are more Fortwos on the road, our cars won't stand out so much and people will be more accustomed to seeing them.

I too only honk at other Smarts when there no traffic around. I still wave like an idiot to others, traffic or no traffic

Some times painful when one forgets that ones window is all the way up.

Sighted on Saturday Aug. 8 a ALL Blue Smart tridion also Blue towing a blue triangular advertising trailer behind it that was lit up on Essex Street Hackenasack going east at the Summit Ave light in the right lane.

That would be neat to see. I have a blue one but with a silver tridon. Did you see what was being advertised on the trailer? Perhaps they will have a web site with a photo of the car and trailer?

The first thing that attracted my attention was that I had a six foot high trailer approaching thats when I stole a quick glance across two lanes and saw a Smart towing this. This was going east where lanes are wide but I was going west in narrow lanes. The advertising was scrolling top to bottom but could not risk reading it. In this section of road you do not even think of using a mirror for anything.

Perhaps you will come across it again and have a better chance to read it?

Were you in a smart? We passed right by the Ling a few times today on our way back and forth from Pep Boys (doing the brakes on my girlfriend's Outback). Didn't spot you or the smart with a trailer.
