Hey!!! We got a smart car! Yep. Finally replaced the old VW. I loved the VW and it was running fine, but lets face it, a new car is a seductive thing. One that's even smaller really tickled my fancy. This one's a 2006 passion, a diesel. It gets crazy mileage on cheap fuel and eventually when biofuel is available I'll be able to convert to vegetable oil! My car was a dealer demo, so it's rated as new and being ecosmart, even gets the maximum rebate of $2,000 which help us pay for our taxes, heh. Everyone wanted a pic, I took this one:
At the time of this writing, it's terribly cold out, too cold to mess around taking pictures, posing, opening this and photographing that. So I'll make up a complete setup for this car later, but for now, you can go to www.thesmart.ca and pour over the options you could get in your passion for two. Mine hasn't got all the options but it has some nice ones like heated outside mirrors and seats, air conditioning, and an aux input for the stereo for my mp3 player. I also have the panorama window in the roof. We can go watch the aurora at night without freezing or being chewed by mosquitos! For the summer sun there's a sliding shade and shade tinting which, combined, should make it tolerable. If not, there's always tinfoil!
