In the meantime, though, I found out that a Smart Car starts at $11,500. You can reserve one for $99. Seriously, if my car died and could not be resurrected, I would consider one of this mini wonders.

My favorite part I found was this: Exterior option - Panorama roof (sun screen included)
My least favorite part is that a radio is not a standard feature. Strange.
Other things you may want to know:
Max speed - 90 mph
Gas - 40 city/45 highway mpg
Storage - 8 cubic feet
Dimensions - 8 feet long, 5 feet tall, 5 feet wide
If I bought one today and financed the entire purchase on a 5 year loan, my payments would be around $232 per month. No thanks. "Come on little Honda. Good car!"
