Hey smart Car Fans,

Jim, the smart Car Guy here with big persnonal news….

I pulled the trigger and bought a smart car yesterday in Salt Lake City !!

This has been in the works for about 2 weeks, but I wanted to wait till the deal was done before announcing the news here on the America-smart-Car-Guide Blog site.

Basically, my wife Kathi & I decided that we needed purchase a new vehicle to replace her mom’s Oldsmobile that is going to Austin, Texas with Kathi’s daughter.  She needs a set of wheels to get around Austin and this created a need for us consider the smart car.

We ordered a smart car last fall and it arrieved this past March, however we simply could not afford it so we had to ‘orphan it’.  I love this vehicle and everything it represents so this was a tough thing to do.

Well, I took a look at the Lindon smart center’s web site and discovered that there was a picture inventory of smart cars available on their lot.  This got the process started, next the %4.2 interest loan made this decision affordable.   Next a few emails & phone calls to David & Emily in Salt Lake City and we made the trip from Boise  and picked up our 2009 white smart passion yesterday !!

I simply love driving this car and with 400 miles on it already, I’m hooked,  It handles well on the highway and gets 40 mpg.

More details & photo’s to come soon !
