Remember all that stuff from the other day about forgetting about the Smart, about the long waiting time, yadda yadda?

Well fugeddaboudit.

I have in my possession an Official Order Form. The Other went to the dealer the other night while I was at my guild meeting.

I find this all highly amusing. The fact that the Smart, a small, dependable, fuel-efficient and cost-effective car is under the Mercedes-Benz umbrella means, of course, that I am entitled to the same impeccable M-B service, without actually forking out for the cost of a Mercedes.

Not to mention the entertainment value, as we keep breaking into Sargeant Schultz-type German accents to talk about the car.

I am now in Permanent Anticipation Mode. I am hoping that Mercedes will see that we Canadians are ready to snap up their Smart little cars, and will throw a few more our way before a year's time.

In the meantime, I am dreaming about my Stream Green Smart, with power windows (even The Other doesn't have power windows!), a CD player, and maybe a sun roof. Maybe.

And about, as George Michael so aptly sang, Freedom! Freedom!
