Early Christmas present

My friend and I visited a local car dealership to check out a car I've been drooling over for two years, a Smart Car. As I close in on retirement getting reliable transportation is important. It would be most difficult to get financing after I stop working. As it turns out I had no problems qualifying for a super low 1.9% interest rate so I signed the bottom line and drove it home. This is my first ever new car. It looks tiny on the outside but is designed for two people to be seated comfortably. My friend Warren & are qualify as large lads and we had no problem comfortably driving over 100 miles. I look forward to the economy, fun & reliability of my new toy.

Re: Early Christmas present

Ooooh - Good job! to Santa for bringing you that little cutie
There are quite a few of them on the roads over here. I've never been in one but I must say, although they don't have a 'back end' the people sitting in them don't look cramped

I wish you many happy hours of motoring Bob

Re: Early Christmas present

We had one and it was great , went for ever on a tank of fuel, the only problem I had was, having such long legs used to feel cramped.....But it a brilliant, nippy little car.
