Smart car

Click here: eBay Motors: Smart : SMART (item 250227214457 end time Mar-25-08 15:25:13 PDT)

Last May, I was surfin', and saw a chance to put down $100, to get on the waiting list to buy a "Smart Car', made by Mercedes, when they became available in the U.S. While we were in Italy, we saw some of these, thought they were cute, and found they were the 'hottest' car available at the time. Anyway, I got on the list, kinda forgot about it, BUT, last week, got an e-mail, asking how I wanted to equip my 'Smart Car'

SOOO, I ordered it to my specs, and today, spoke with the local dealer. They are totally sold out with a long wating list, and people are paying a premium to avoid a 2 year wait. This car on E-Bay, with 6 days to go, has bids over $2000 higher than I have a contract for. Too early to be for sure, BUT it could be a sweet deal. We'll see. In the meantime, I'm gonna drive one. Should be fun...

My plan at the moment is to auction it on E-Bay, or let the dealer sell it for me OVER the asking price. There is approx a 2 year waiting list, unless you ordered as soon as it came out, like I did. I have seen this happen with other cars and thought it could happen with this one. Never planned to drive one, but thought they would be popular here, ESP w/gas prices as they are.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
