    Thanks guys!! Happy New Year to you as well!! Rick, are you back from vacation yet? You were going to Hawaii no?

    Vasco, this year he just brought down the F430 and the E55... its a 2 car garage down there, and I guess he didn't want to leave the E55 outside anymore.

    ...Well, I've had the car over a week now, so I guess better late than never, so here's my new Smart car! I love it. Of course, I had to put Ferrari stickers on it! The car features F1 paddle shifting and it has given me a new appreciation for this system (being an old-school, standard-shifting guy). It is not as fast as Ferrari's/Maserati's system, but it ultra smooth - no jerkiness - and even blips the throttle on downshifts. Way cool! You can use either the paddle shifters, or the stick shift at anytime. I find I do most of my shifting with the paddles, but ocassionally use the stick (old habits are hard to break)

    It's a great car and perfect for my needs of short-commuting daily driver duties.

    Cool.....I had one on order until I was told that a proper manual would not be part of the Canadian equipment package.

    i actually went to the Smart test drives where they set up a mini autox. the feeling they left me was a very poor handling car. the steering is vague; the brakes are weak; the finish is ikea.

    personally it would irritate the hell out of me if it were my daily driver.

    With such a short wheelbase, even Jesus couldn't make it handle ... it's a pure commuter car, I guess,

    Fantastic city car, but I must confess that I make a sport out of passing them on the highways...

    heh, first time I saw one was in Europe when the roadster came out. I was at the Casino in Estoril. And low and behold......in the middle of the Ferrari's Bentley's Maser's there was a dude in a smart car roadster that pulled up into the vallet section. Priceless. The guy was pimpin.

    ...And that's all. After an hour on the highway at 120Km/h and 4000+RPM with the motor sitting behind you, the noise is ridiculous.
