Not in Paramus...but not far from them..

I'm picking up the new car in the morning...

Drives nice. Smooth, quiet and powerful - what a difference this engine makes in the '13 over the '12. The start/stop technology is pretty good, it does it with little noise, hard to notice it's even shutting off. Might get annoying with time, but we'll see! It could be disabled too...

First mod should be to find a safe, dry parking spot.

Nice pickup Eddie.

Big improvement for fuel economy too. From 18 to 21mpg combined EPA.

Awesome pickup Eddie!

My wife had one as a loaner while her car was in for a complimentary "your warranty is going to expire" check up... so we had it for the weekend. Man, I fell in love with that thing. Rode much better then last year's model. It's a completely different experience. Enjoy!!

While I was picking up the wife's car, sorta kinda ended up making another impulse buy (lease)....It was too good a deal to resist, I'm paying a little over $100 bucks a month for it...Good to have around these parts where parking spots are hard to find...

It's essentially LOADED, including Leather/Glass Roof/Navigation/Bluetooth...

2013 Smart Fourtwo Brabus (Limited) Edition







15" Front Wheels:


17" Rear Wheels:





This car is NOT for everyone...but it gets the job done!

Whutcha thinkin with that Smart Car? Though I must admit if you're paying onlly $100 a month for it, more powa to you.

I just hired a full time driver that's either going to be driving the G37xS or the Smart...Though I'd rather keep the Smart around for the local driving/parking that I think would work best with it. I just got my brother the same one too. It was too good a deal to pass up!

Price wise, lets get the Germans out of the way.

My choice would be the RX. Not too over budget, and insanely reliable and easy to drive.

EDIT: just read the update. Goddamn you baller.

Got to drive a smart for work a while back. I found there to be plenty of space, but the rear window is right behind you. I guess if it's that cheap...
