Love Swatch!!! I need this to add to my growing collection.
I have just moved into my new home this year and am in desperate need of a new tree.
NYC. Anything goes. Could not be anymore perfect.
I SOOOOOOOOOO need this. It's as colorful and fabulous as I am!!!!!!!
I am all about redecorating. I absolutely hate moving and find it much easier and less expensive to redecorate and change the look and feel.
Yes men should wear jewelry. And as in anything else fashion related it should not be overdone. Select, tasteful pieces tell you a lot about a person and the image they project. And I love items like these that utilize discarded items from other industries and transform them into pieces of art. Magnificent!
I have yet to figure out why there is soooo much animosity towards this car. DrSmart apparently has never been to Oklahoma I take it. Our winds are horrendous. Especially this time of year. And no, DrSmart, I haven't had a bit of trouble. As for interstates in Oklahoma, they are awful. Yes. And do I get bounced around all over the place? No. Its not a damn Lincoln, but I have been in SUVs that are a heck of a lot worse. Anyhow, lay off the negativity. Its more or less a niche car and not for everyone. If you don't like, don't buy it. Meanwhile I am considering reserving a second one so we don't have to fight over who drives the one we have, and crossing my fingers for the Brabus to be brought over to the US.
OK, About the shifting issue. This is not a typical automatic that we are used to in the US. If you drive it like one, the shifting is sluggish. However! If, when it comes time for it to shift, let off the gas just a little and its quite smooth. In other words, you drive it like a typical standard transmission, you just don't have a clutch to push in. My dealer instructed on this at delivery and it took a little getting used to. But after a full day of driving you don't even think about it.
We have a truck (that is about to be sold) and a Honda Fit (that I love and now looks HUGE parked next to the smart) and this was just perfect for our needs. It is a bit pricey, but its cool. And no its not for everyone. Its a perfect city car, running errands and getting some groceries. Will keep you up to date how this all turns out, but as I have said before....LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOHOOOO!!! Thanks EngadgetHD for such an awesome prize. This is going to be sweet in my new home gym aka the spare bedroom with an elliptical trainer.
I reserved my fortwo as quickly as I could. I love the idea behind
this car and found it to suit my needs. I even sprung for the
convertible. I received notification from smart and my dealer today
that it should be arriving within the next 30 days. Has anyone else
who placed a reservation received any sort of confirmation? The wait
is almost over!!!! WoooHoooooo!!!!!!!!!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am looking for a 12- or 13-inch ultraportable that can also play modern games at a reasonable level, for less than $1,000. I know the brainiacs out there can help me out. Love the site, thanks!"
