Last week I was standing at the bus stop, my principal pulled up and was talking to me, and I just cut her off yelling… “Oh my god… a Smart Car. That is my car I am going to get!”
When I was riding with my friends to a party, we saw 2 Smart Cars. One person yelled, Smart Car Black and then when we saw the other one I yelled, “Smart Car Green!”
Which then got us to thinking about the game you play when you see a VW Beetle (aka Bug). You yell slug bug and the color and “slug” the person next to you. Usually the slug is the person putting his/her hand in a fist and shoulder punching the person.
Well with the good old US of A restricting how many Smart Cars can be imported at one time in the US, we invented the Smart Slap. Same principle as the Slug Bug game. The first person to see a smart car yells Smart Car and then the base color of it and slaps the person next to them. So much more cooler than slug bug. At least I think so.
The good news on my smart car is that I now have an estimated date of delivery for my car. You might think Yahoooo! But the delivery date is estimated at Oct-Dec of 2009. Super big frowney face. That means I need to get the tires rotated on my current car, a CV boot replaced, and probably new brakes. Ug. More money to spend.
Just remember the phrase is, “Smart Car and color” then slap the person. And you are playing Smart Slap!
