Well, maybe.

e-mail from smart center San Jose today: smartxs unloaded today, delivery to dealer usually takes 10 days and they will get it serviced as quickly as possible and notify me when it is ready for delivery.

and yes, we know you don't want the front license plate installed.

My response: Don't install the front license plate!
Money is burning a hole in my pocket waiting for delivery.
Remember: This IS my Birthday Month!!
Thanks.

So that would put delivery to the dealer a week from this Friday and she should be in May 23, which HAPPENS to be the date the dealer projected about a month ago when looking it up on their computer.

Dare I hope that she will show up a day or two early? Please, Please, Please, Please!

We have now completed the design of the wrap, so it will be ready about the time smartxs gets here.

I still have more stuff coming in - Hey! It's my Birthday Month - allright!? - ordering floor mats from classicsmarts (smartcarsofamerica), got the blue tooth ordered for the Nav, got the XM add on ordered to go with the Nav.

Will probably order a car cover soon. "We have too many cars!" (Wife). Let's see, three people live here and there are 7 vehicles and one motorcycle. What? I use them all! Each (except the cycle) gets over 10,000 miles a year, and the Camry is at 40,000 miles and doesn't have its second Birthday for 9 days!

camry just HAPPENS to be a Birthday Month car too.

So when smartxs gets here, let the contest begin. I was able to average 48.2 MPG at 55MPH (actually between 50 and 60 as I let her drift) in the Camry Hybrid over 1/4 tank of gas (it was actually 4.3 gallons) and then I had to do city driving, so filled up to check mileage.

camry has laid down the challenge to smartxs! "I'm not willing to give anything up to smartie, but do keep in mind I am a bigger car!" says camry -

"Yeah, right, camry, admitting defeat already?"

anyhoo - I got a new dog to fill in the gap whislt waiting for smartxs. Baby is (yeah, that's her name, and?) waiting for the first ride.
