The only thing that has changed is she got a full tank of gas and the tires rotated (well that and a few miles, as I dont live in Iowa anymore, and that is the most snow its ever seen, as I have the Scion Fitted cover.)

Found some more sitting around on the computer, please dont mind the mess, this is from when it was broken into
Dash cracked thanks to the idiots, that is why I said "needs a dash" it can be repaired, but I kinda just lost the will to work on the car
Suede headliner with impression from the flip down TV

Here is my thought on the Smarts... for those of you that didnt read the blog...
Unlike Homer Simpsons’ iconic song ‘I am so smart, I am so smart S-M-R-T, no its S-M-A-R-T’ the Smart fortwo passion Cabriolet is nothing to laugh at.
I was surprised by the room inside the vehicle at first, dont get me wrong, Im a 5′12″ 275lb man and the smart is all of a tiny little vehicle, from the outside. Inside I had ample room, between myself and all inward facing surfaces. Hell, even in my 4Runner my leg hits the door while Im cruising down the road. The passenger seat is set back 8 inches from the drivers seat, which is great, because along the test drive the salesman’s head was completely out of my view. the soft top was very quiet inside with it up, or even with it open as a sunroof. it rode very smooth, handled like a rollerskate, and even though it was an autotragic, shifted like it was a manual, and by that I mean there was a pause in acceleration for the gears to change.
Speaking of acceleration… for a 1liter, 78hp, 3 piston popper this thing wanted to move. For pure S&G I put my foot to the floor and this thing took off like it was a pedophile late for a middle school dismissal (distasteful? no not so much) The electric power steering in it made for some very odd occurrences while driving, because I had a tendency to oversteer for the turn I was in. The oddest part of the car, was the brake pedal… it was attached to the floor not to the firewall as most cars are, so picking up my foot off the floor was a change, but apparently good for my calf muscles. All in all I really liked the car, minus the 18K price tag for one, but with that, you really are buying 18K worth of car, not 8K worth of pensions/advertising/commissions/corporate salaries ontop of a 10K car.
All in all, and I cant believe Im saying this, I feel that this would be worth the money more than my Scion was… but in actuality, I cant prove that to be the case. I give the car a couple extra points for having a genuine style, a sense of class, and some def curb appeal, although it would not be parked at the curb as your traditional vehicle would be, but facing the street as you drove by, and, if you look closely, it may even look like it is smiling at you…
