Blue is my favorite color, I have a blue SLK, I had a blue Z06 Corvette, there is just something about the color. Now when it comes to the smart car there is a reason why I would'nt get it. Unlike Yellow, White, Red and Black the color itself is a paint and not impregnated into the body panels. That means if you scratch the paint you will likely see black undeneath the color of your car. Since I plan on taking this car on a couple long trips it sure would be nice to buff out any chips in the paint when I return. That and down the road my plan would be to paint the body panels British Racing Green metallic. Or more specifically Bowling Green Metallic from a C5 era Corvette. And if your conerned about resale value of a smart car based on color, you really need to rethink things. All the best, Aaron Lephart

You'll look very "smart" in your silver car! We decided on the "bumblebee" to be as visible as possible!!! You know how those HUGE SUV's are around here!!

A bee. Cool! I thought of a whip antenna with a loop at the top to simulate a bumper car! But around here we hardly need to "simulate" that. Aaron Lephart

Oh NO!!! No bumper cars! I'm afraid of that happening anyway - don't want to give anyone any ideas!! I was reading in the Smart Car of America forum that people are having problems with driving looky-loos and almost having accidents!

I have also heard this on other forums. Even the cops are stopping people and asking them about the car!
