Yep they did an amazing job at meeting all the standards.........they really are a great car.........

 

I would of thought that they would of had to of put what was left of that Smart car in a small grocery bag for disposal!

Cynce, my father wants one of those cars. You sell them, right? Am I too far away for you to help him with it or do you want to hook up a dealer out here with his business?

 

seattle area is the closest dealership right now. but maybe he wouldn't mind the drive up from portland.

edit*** also smart is pure priced like what scion is.

 

The Seattle one is right next to Acura of Seattle in Southcenter.

 

Jenna,

I thought the same thing but Cynce does marketing not sales for smart. Your dad’s best bet would be to go to the showroom in south center. He can also reserve one online for a fully refundable $99 www.smartusa.com . If he does not like it for any reason he gets his money back. There is currently a wait for the vehicles.

 

I PM'ed her with the info, but YUP!

 

Cool!

 

someone needs to get a Ariel Atom car now

0-60mph 2.7seconds *100-150 added HP goes to 1.5seconds*
0-100mph 6.8seconds *100-150 added hp goes to 4.5seconds*

uses a honda civic type R engine thats supercharged. weighs 1,100lbs with nearly 300hp and 300lbs torque and gets about 35mpg



and yes, it's road legal, just needs a windsheild for our road laws.

but, no heat, no doors, no stereo, no interior... just pure quick'ness and speed

uses the F1 standard chassis, head on wrecks damage only the nose. car does not roll over, it'll slide before that happens. your biggest concern should be bird droppings on your seats.

 

I think I saw your Smart this last weekend (Friday, 2/1). Driving down 2nd or 3rd. Looks great!

 

Winter - I would LOVE the Ariel Atom to come to the States (actually they are, but not the "true" version)

The only bad thing is, most wouldn't know how to drive the sucker cause it has so much BHP

CYNCE!

I'm mad jealous.. I've heard of June before I get to take a look at em and decide if I want to go that route.

 

Have you put in a reservation yet? You can go look at them and test drive anytime! Head over to the smart center in Seattle and tell Ethan that Cynce sent you

 

Cynce,

Yep, I just unfortunately don't have time and the dealership is closed by the time I get down in that area.

Takes a bit to go from Eastgate P&R to Southcenter via the bus =(

 

BOOO! Well I'll be bringing our smart to the BOND OF BELLEVUE event - so you should come to that and check it out!

 

via bus?

i think i'm missing something and i know it's a bit more off topic then whats already done, but... what happened? that is i'm assuming something happened to your xA...

that Atom is awesome though, i would totaly buy one if i had the spare $23,000 for the Atom 3, i'd import it from the UK and just stick a polycarbonate windshield and it would be set

i ahvn't had much look at the smart cars. when i first saw it all i could think of was instant death if you got into a wreck but after seeing some crash test videos i'm rather impressed... just don't get hit by a semi truck

 

500 miles on the smart now and still running great! :D

 

ahh!!i told my hubby i wanted one!!
