About the only way my smart will be driven this Sunday is if we run out of hotdogs or beer. We have a few motorheads over to watch the races.

WHAT? free hot dogs and beer and I was unaware of such activities?

just how long a drive from Indy to San Antonio????? should i start driving NOW??? ;)


on second thought, the 'free hot dogs and beer' would end costing me over $600 at the price of gas today.

nevermind........

Jeep your reading glasses need to be cleaned. Mike did mention hotdogs and beer but nothing about them being free, however if you make the drive all the way from Indy He might let you have some for free. How about it mike-in-sa?

I love the Spurs, I used to run the beer room for 11 years for them.
Come on down, It's easy to find my house. It's the only one with 2 smart cars in the driveway!

I still wish the Smart car could have been the pace car for the Indy 500. I read that the Indy pace car has never been an import. It's going to be a Vet again this year, that is the fifth year in a row.
