Title: The Smartie

Don't know exactly what we'll do with this yet, but it's in the driveway
and can be flat towed if I want. BlueOx makes a baseplate for it that's
about $400 and says it takes four hours labor to install. Funny thing is
the car weighs 1875 lbs so technically doesn't require supplemental
braking. I've got the Brake buddy in the Vue I can always use though.

Not sure if we'll drag it or not, but that's the roller skate my wife
will be going back and forth to work in twice a week.

Thanks, will do. I got to play with it a bit today because it was
raining like crazy and dark when Kathy went to work...so she didn't want
to drive the new car. By mid morning it cleared up a bit so I ran my
errands in it. Interesting little car :-) So far my only complaint is
the seats are hard even though they are the upgraded heated leather seats.

A few months ago there was a slow speed chase involving Texas state troopers
and a guy in smart car. Funniest thing I had seen on the news in a long
time.

I can see it now, the perp in a Smartcar and the cops on a Segway! :-)
