I did it. I put down the $99 (refundable) needed to reserve a Smart fortwo passion coupe.

I’ve been interested in Smart cars for awhile. I looked at one back in 2006, took photos of one in Mexico last year, and have been captivated every time I’ve seen one since.

At the end of 2007 I reserved a red fortwo. Exactly as shown here. There are still several outstanding issues: going on a successful road test; seeing if I can trade in my Scion xB, doing some more research into getting the car serviced in the Seattle area, and if my insurance company will insure the car (I’m pretty sure they will). But even with those potential show-stoppers, I’m closer to owning a Smart car than I’ve ever been.

I’ll post more as this adventure develops!
