I purchased my smart car August 2008.  The car came in sooner than was expected.  I still had the lease on my old car.  I could not drive it until four months later.  I love the savings I get in gas.  Actually, I thought would be able to go two weeks on it.  I guess I do so much driving that I have to fill up once a week.  I never let it get past 1/2 tank either.  One thing I do enjoy about the car is that I do not have to get oil changed until 10,000 miles.  This Smart car is the wave of the new future.  I feel like a celebrity in it.  Soon everyone will have one.  I wish it drived...
