We Are now a Smart Family

I tried to "surprise" Sister Tiki. We have had a Smart car on order for over a year but they had one on the lot which met our specs. I created this elaborate ruse with the help of Kimiki. I had to work Saturday, so, the timing was crucial. So after Kimiki took Troyoto into work, she picked me up at Discover and we headed down to Lindon with cashier's check in hand. I told the dealership the color and options which I wanted and that I would be there by 6 pm to pick "it" up. After a quick few minutes of paperwork and a tutorial, I was on my way.

I told Sister Tiki that the BMW was not starting and could not be jumped either so I needed a rescue. I also told her to bring the camera because I needed to take pictures of somebody at work. So when she arrived at Discover I had had the Smart hidden. I met her outside and took the camera and went back inside. I emerged from another door and drove the car over to her. She was so unimpressed while I was taking a video and it was disappointing. Kimiki and the kids were hidden in the parking lot as well. Sister Tiki gave them a little ride in the Smart. They were thrilled. She loves those kids.

As we go to Europe often we have been smitten by the Smart. It's German (Mercedes)...it's French (manufactured)...viva la Smart!

So now we are Smart!
