To me it seems that all of Columbia's Smarts are the same combination, Yellow/Black, wonder if the local team has something to do with it.
Hope to see you soon Marcia.

No, as of Friday noon my car is in the shop. Had a flat, was getting the pump out to get enough air to get to a tire shop when I discovered that the floor pan of the car, on both sides, was very wet. Also there was no indication of a problem from the TPMS. Had to have the car flat bedded to smart as NTB could not fix the tire due to the nature of the 3.5 inch deck screw that punctured it and exited next to the rim. smart was unable to work it in. We are all stumped as to why there was water inside the car. This bothers me significantly.

This morning after going to get the Pink Panther 2, I saw this famous rear:



And the chase started:



I noticed the California tag, for a moment I thought that maybe it was some sort of advertising for the movie (Pink Panther 2), but that chaged when I saw it side:



I chased it all over the town:





Then I thought that maybe the car was just passing by, I was hoping it would stop to talk ti the driver:

The third Smart in town!!

When it finally stopped, after greeting the owner and apologizing for the chase, she told me that she moved from California to live here in Emporia, which means that this is the third Smart in town!!
Here are the official pictures, note the flames and the lambo doors:

There should be plenty more in town next June.

BTW, were you talking on your cell phone at the same time?

Actually I left my cell phone at home and for some reason I took my wife's camera...maybe it was the destiny , but believe me is hard to drive and take a good picture at the same time.

I just saw this poor little car abandoned outside a car shop in the middle of the night, hopefully there's nothing wrong with it. Of course I couldn't resist a quick picture:

Is it the V-Dub doctors car or do you have yet another new car in Emporia?
