RichHelms Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 Your driving a Stream Green smart and you're not sure if he saw you? LOL It was a divided highway. True, I did get noticed. Almost all comments were very positive on the car, especially in light of gar going for $3.50 to $4.00 a gallon. Quote

Duck Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 Haha, that's awesome, I've driven that car! Paddle shifters...! -Iain Quote
bsmart Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 I've spotted dozens of smarts in Calgary over the past few days an not one person waved back at us. Mind you most of them didn't seem to be very aware of their surroundings! Can you say tunnel vision? I remember some early mbcanada members talked about if smart car owners would wave at each other like jeep owners. The majority I think would wave back if they only looked. Quote
Cait Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 If i saw you I would wave..... but im not in calgary Quote
FormerEnthusiast Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 Last night at around 11:00pm... Saw on Whyte Ave, a red/black pulse cabrio... He pulled up and parked right next to me... We waved... And I waited in my car (cool turbo down as always)... And then he disappeared into Safeway... I went to Shopper's Drug Mart and came back a while later to see he was gone... He grabbed his car from the other dealership and had commercial plates like I have... Anyone from here? Quote

Catopounce Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 This afternoon I spotted TFM (I think) and Xandria in "Speaky" as they drove west on W. Georgia St. in Vancouver! Excited, I jumped into traffic to introduce myself!"I'm on the forum! I'm Catopounce!" They rolled down their window and waved, ha ha, what fun! It would be even more fun if I actually had my own smartcar to drive, but haven't received it yet... My dealer says beginning of October....I am being soooooo patient!Great to sort of meet you both, TFM and Xandria! Quote
MikeT Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 I met a nice fellow (M.) from Gabriola Island in Duncan BC today. His smart, "SMRTY J", was looking good with its sunroof and red panels. I handed him one of deezle's cards and asked if he'd join us here at clubsmartcar.Heh, another VIN for the spotters guide! 220 on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, spotted so far Quote
Xandria Posted September 21, 2005 Author Posted September 21, 2005 This afternoon I spotted TFM (I think) and Xandria in "Speaky" as they drove west on W. Georgia St. in Vancouver! Excited, I jumped into traffic to introduce myself! "I'm on the forum! I'm Catopounce!" They rolled down their window and waved, ha ha, what fun! It would be even more fun if I actually had my own smartcar to drive, but haven't received it yet... My dealer says beginning of October....I am being soooooo patient! Great to sort of meet you both, TFM and Xandria! It was awesome to see you too! If we weren't in such a hurry at the time, it would have been great to go for coffee. Although you were probably busy too. It's funny because at first I thought you were one of those people who wanted to talk about the smart car (I have had more than one person literally hurl themselves in my pathway to talk to me about the car), and this afternoon we were using GPS to get us to a very specific location to drop some stuff off and therefore without much time or focus to spare. But when you announced that you were from the forum, it was all very exciting and wonderful! I was doing the kitty cat dance in the seat after we saw you! LOL And yes, that was TFM driving. I hope you get your car soon. More and more will be arriving every day once the end of the month hits! Quote
Relax Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 This afternoon I spotted TFM (I think) and Xandria in "Speaky" as they drove west on W. Georgia St. in Vancouver!I'm not sure but I think I see TFM and Xandria's smart all the time. I live just off Commercial on Pender and I think today I saw them driving north at about 2:35 PM. Are you guys often in this neighborhood or am I confusing your car with someone else's?I've never had the guts to jump out in front of a moving vehicle so all I usually see is a little black and silver car go darting past, but if it's you two maybe I'll at least start waving... Quote
Gent Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 I live just off Commercial on Pender You are practically on their doorstep! Either due to the vampire hours I keep or my stealth smart, nobody ever sees me! I live in Gastown, and I see other smarts all the time. I flash my lights and wave but nothing. sigh. Quote
Xandria Posted September 21, 2005 Author Posted September 21, 2005 Relax, that is us! Next time just wave but not too enthusiastically -- it's a strange 'hood ours is! And soon you'll be seeing a silver and bay grey! And if the smartie is darting, that's TFM driving (unless I'm late). LOL I know sometimes I'm too fixated on driving and keeping my eyes on the road etc. that I don't often see the other smartie until they're past me and I always feel bad that I didn't wave. But if I SEE them I wave like crazy. So I'm not ignoring you -- just didn't see you. Mind, I waved at a guy yesterday who must've thought we were insane because his expression was most unimpressed.

mlg Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 I see so many on my way to and from UBC ... don't know who is who. I always wave Some wave back, others are very pre-occupied Quote
mlg Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 While I was waiting for my car to arrive, my fellow co-workers found the need to substitute my non-existent smart with ones that they thought should be mine. Just one of many examples sent my way ... My smart getting a lift to my office Quote
kattywumpus Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 Based on information from my co-workers, it appears there was a Smart Car roaming around Portland Maine today. It was in the parking garage I use for a time, but unfortunately by the time I got up to the garage it was gone. I would have liked to see one in the chrome. Quote
smartdawg Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 I was speaking with my mom tonight who lives in Victoria. She was telling me she saw the coolest pink smart downtown. She immediately yelled to my dad "That's that smart I want! That's the colour!". My dad's response: "well.... someone else may have to drive it and that could be a problem". Guess he doesn't want to parade around in a pretty pink smart. Must have been Christy from the other site they spotted. Maybe he needs an all black manly smart like mine! (eh, Gent?) Quote
MikeT Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 Actually there is a pink/black smart in Victoria, and it is not Christy of Vancouver Hello Kitty fame... Quote
TFM Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 I saw TWO all black cars on a car transport today. It was mixed with some other cars so I guess it was making the rounds. They were together on the top front and were less then an inch apart! Quote
Cait Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 I saw a smart car driving through the University of Windsor today! it was red and black! and had sme writing on the side...dont kno what it said tthough Quote
MikeT Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 enthusiast42 took time out of his busy day to score 18 new VINs for me at Silver Star in Montr?al! WTG! Quote
bilgladstone Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 Saw what was probably S_mack's ride today on Pandosy street Kelowna, heading downtown around 2pm or so. Ivory with silver tridion, right? Maybe he saw my smart parked across the street from the Chinese restaurant where friend and I were finishing up a lazy dim sum? PS I don't recommend that place for dim sum - better at Seven Seas downtown. But "Mini Ozeki" on the west side of Pandosy (where we wanted to go but it was packed) rocks for sushi! Quote
Caspar_s Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 Saw the Autoshare smart today - it was at the building opposite us (we'd just dropped off a digital camera that we found on the side of the road - from the pictures on it, it was one of the workmen from the roof of the building) It is a bit dirty (not really surprising in a "hire" car). What was funny was that it had a big sticker under the fuel cap saying Diesel only - and one right across the steering wheel DIESEL ONLY :-) There was also instructions under the fuel cap on how to open it. (Autoshare Link) Quote
SMRT GRL Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 i saw a green coupe pulse in the Home Depot/Loblaws fanshawe and adelaide parking lot. it has tinted windows licence AVXM 947 Quote
