Welcome! If you're going to be in this secret society, you will have to learn how to spell fortwo!

Ha! Thanks Mike T! Do you know why it's fortwo and not fourtwo? I imagine someone has asked this already in the forum.

Because the car is "for two people" so it's called a fortwo. The version made for four people is called the forfour.

Prior to our shopping for the fortwo, my wife only knew of it as a Smart car. She looked at "fortwo" and said "What's a fort-wo?" I laughed so hard I hurt my gizzard. . .

Kudos for her creativity.

Did she say fort-WOO or fort-WOE?

fort-WOE, but it came out more like fort-WHOA. Kind of with a bit of a country twang, with a slight heaping of "I know this must be wrong" on top.
