Crap. All these Smart car owners, and nobody wants to talk about them much. I wish I could find a Smart car club as easily as I found a Volkswagen club. I'd like to get together with, and talk to other Smart car owners. I suppose I need to do some deeper research for that. :(

The 300-mile journey south of Nashville to Hampton, Georgia was superb in it's own way. The 75 plus MPH cruising speed was fun, and easy to maintain. I think my Smart Car was designed as a highway machine. Today, a large percentage of highway vehicles are semi-trucks, and I can definitely feel the wind they create on my Smart. Some have said this truck wind does not affect their Smart, but I can honestly feel my car being pushed around by it. I took my car to my cousin Kenneth's trailer, and I got a picture with his wife Teresa standing at the front of my Smart. All I can say is that they adored my unique looking car. Driving around small towns like Fayetteville, and Lovejoy Georgia wasn't particularly fun unless you like manually shifting the gears. I didn't like the fact that the Smart would shift into 5th-gear at about 35-miles per hour due to the unbelievably dense traffic on the roads today. All in all, I like my car. The automatic transmission could have been refined a bit more user friendly. I have seen drawings of a concept car called the "Embryo", and I'll just sit back to hopefully watch it's development. Unless the problems with the Smart's transmission is repaired in 2010, I think I'd be more interested in the Embryo.
