I saw a "smart" car this week that had a big "for sale" sign in the back window. That car still had the dealer paper plates and temporary sticker on the window instead of license plates (which typically arrive within 1 month after purchase in CA). I guess somebody made an impulse buy instead of shopping around and comparing it with other fuel saving vehicles in the same price range like Yaris, Fit or Versa. Not so smart after all.

Actually I'd guess that someone waited in line to buy one and wants to sell and turn a profit.

Maybe they just WOKE UP, recycled.

Personally, I prefer a little more "beef" surrounding me when I'm out there running with The Crazies and Nutcases which are definitely in no short supply here in Tucson!
