Red interior, nice. With your pale skin and black clothes, it makes a great accessory.

...or are YOU the accessory?

Damn, maybe next year or so I'll be able to get one used. >>

Aww, it's adorable! I rented one of those in Germany and it took me from Stuttgart to Frankfurt, back, down to Munich, east into Prague, and back to Stuttgart on a single tank.

The next time I rented a cooler, more comfortable Volvo wagon (with heated seats! bonus for a ski trip) and fell in love, but that's another story.

MY car has heated seats, yeaaaaaah :)

Sweet ride.

I assume that's not included at the base 13k. Mind if I ask what your somewhat decked out model ran and what options you got?

$15.5k, $17k after closing costs and taxes, got me:

sun roof
red upholstery
fog lamps
deluxe sound system with subwoofer, 2 tweeters and 6 CD changer/radio
air conditioning
tachometer
heated seats
automatic windows
power steering (which I didn't need, but it was in the model that had everything else I wanted on the lot and I couldn't wait 90 days for a custom car to ship in)

The base model is really basic. Manual windows, no AC, no radio, no sunroof, and basic grey interiors. Although, I can see why some people wouldn't want some of that. But you can add on a lot of that stuff and keep it under $14k.

I demanded red interior, though.

She's adorable! I am having my test drive for the smart car tomorrow :D I can't wait.

Sweet! Please let me know how it goes! They are such dolls!

Awesome! :D She sounds wonderful...she needs a cute name, though, ya know. :)

"Scarlet" has been suggested. I also lean toward "Beat Box" for her sound system.

I still keep thinking "Stephy" in honor of your also cute and Smart idol, Stephen Hawking. I am awestruck and in love with your new partner of the road. Thanks for the photo! ^0^
