I ordered my SMART in July and I decided not to wait. I picked up my SMART last Thursday, a Black Pure. I got it off Ebay with only 14 miles on it, and it was less than 100 miles away. The price was about the same as picking up a new model from the dealer.

The funny part is that when I decided to order one, I drove a Black pure owned by a friend and mine has the exact same colors, and options. The two side by side look identical.

Now our wives have plans to put them in the Holiday Stroll parade (day after Thanksgiving) with lights and advertising our respective stores.

Never realized how many people will stop and ask "what is that" and "How fast does it go" but every one is amazed as to how much room it has inside.

Wonder if I'll ever let the wife drive it.....

Did you say addition or addiction? Feels more like the last one.

Congratulations!

Are you ready to trick it out with bolt-ons?
A new header (6 hp)? Rally Wheels? A custom Smart Wrap for your store?

I've had my Cabrio since July and I can't put myself to sell it!

I guess I like things stock looking... I have 2 Kawasaki snowmobiles (1980) that look like they did from the factory, a 1985 GMC Jimmy, 99 Expedition, 97 Mountaineer, 84 Gold Wing, 73 Yamaha, etc that all are basicly look like the day they left the factory. Just not into the customizing bit I guess.

The wife is still pushing for personalized plates and maybe a back window banner with the store name.....
