It was "sticks like shit on a stick" in my urban youth. But I suppose people in the countryside put shit on blankets and not sticks...or something.

Anyway, congrats on the mini, and my apologies for immediately taking this off-topic: but I would love to impor a smart car. I think about it every now and then. I could buy it on the continent so the wheel is on the correct side. Anyone done a car import or know where I can even begin to find out what's necessary to do this?

I would wait until 2006 when the Smart Car becomes available in the US. $12,000 for the cheapest model, and just over $20,000 for the convertable. It may work out cheaper to be patient.

Keep an eye out on their site for any news: www.smartusa.com

Like Rince said, it's coming over, but in some parts, they are already here, being tried out, I think in some parts of New Hampshire and Mass...general sale is next year though...
