Robert,

You can get the Smart.  My RI just finished the certification process for
importing the Smart to the USA.  Figure on $7K after it arrives in the USA.

Cheers,

Jeff

Subject: Back from Berlin [some Vanagon content]

Well, I made it back just in time to experience Hurricane Frances.  Nothing
like a 9 hour plane ride and then putting up hurrican shutters (great way to
cure jet lag though!).
I was nice to see so many Vanagons running around!  Even at the Tegel
Airport on the Tarmac, Vanagons were everywhere!
On the other hand, I saw so many Smart cars, I wish I could get one here!
(www.smart.com)  These little cars, made by Mercedes, were perfect for city
commuters!
Anyway, glad to be back, but I certainly do miss the bier over there, and
it's just amazing how much Berlin has changed.  Oh, and what can I say about
the food, I love the NO ATKINS diet :-)  Germans are mind kinda people in
the old food department.
Back to your regularly scheduled programming.....
