Smart Stories from Julie's Garage... Top 10 reasons it's great to drive a Smart

Ok... I've had Maxwell for over a year, and these past months had given me some insight as to why it's better to have a Smart (as opposed to other cars)

My top ten list (in no particular order):

10) Parking...Yesterday I pulled smoothly into a space a Mini Cooper passed up.

9) Gas… Continue

Fliegen: September 1990 - April 28, 2009


Little Fliegen passed away at 10:22am on Tuesday, April 28 while I cradled her. Although her medication had stopped her seizures, it became apparent that the brain tumour was rapidly affecting her in multiple ways and I could no longer let her suffer. She spent her last night sleeping next… Continue

Fliegen

I am sad to report that my little pup, Fleigen the wonder-dog, all of 19 amazing years, is approaching the end of her road.

She has been suffering from occasional seizures which have suddenly increased as of Thursday night. Although my vet has prescribed anti-seizure meds, they are continuing and are starting to have longer lasting effects. We are waiting on blood tests to rule out any pathogens that could theoretically be the cause, although that is considered to be a longshot. The most likely… Continue

I have a confession...

Wow... July already. It's been a very long time since I've posted, but then life has been a hub of activity. And I gotta admit, I've been cheating on you guys... I've been keeping another blog.

I've actually had this other blog since 2004, so technically, this was the homewrecker of a blog that interrupted my peaceful life at my first blogsite.

I feel so dirty.

At any rate, I haven't forgotten all… Continue

My bumblebee is okay because I park in the garage. She is only in the sun when I'm out shopping. Right now I have the red,white & blue flag ball on it for the 4th of July and the rest of the month.

COOL! My bumblebee is starting to fade from the California sun, so I was going to go back and stock up myself!

How was your trip to Carmel? Wife and I watched for Maxwell that weekend, but no luck. Our grandson plays little league ball on Saturdays close to the Carmel Mission, we usually eat breakfast at the Blackbear on Highway #1. I work in Carmel and sofar we've only seen two other smarts in the area, so you should have been easy to spot. Sorry we missed you!

Hi Julie O,
There is so much love coming out of the yellow/ black combination smart fortwo that this one is really growing on me. I was going to configure on silver/silver but it's like half the cars in the whole country are silver. One of the great things about the smart fortwo is how different it is. To go silver/silver would just make it blend in with the masses and hide it. I don't what to hide my smart fortwo. I want to display it. And I want other drivers to see it. I don't know how many times I have started to change lanes and been caught off guard because I didn't see a silver colored car. They just blend in with the road. So congradulations on finely getting your smart fortwo in one of the best color combinations that exemplifies what the smart is all about. It's uniqueness. I am really feeling the love.

Hi Julie O,
I was at the dealer today, picking up some accessories, and I saw a happy couple hurridly driving off with a "twin" of yours -- not really, only in color. It was stripped, and ready for abuse -- not like yours that has come to a loving home! They just wanted to get it home (we can all relate)!!

I guess punctuation, grammar, spelling, capitalization, intelligibility, etc., are not strong points on this blog.

I made an illegal U turn in front of a policeman. A little bit nasty police officer pulled me over, got my license and registration. When he came back, he asked me to get out, now I thought I was really in trouble, but he just wanted to ask questi...
