Oh, I see....(c; I'm trying my best to buy a new Smart CDi diesel car to replace my aging fleet of old Mercedes diesels, and still maintain my energy independence with another diesel. They don't import them into the USA because the President and his cronies are all oil company executives who puke when someone tries to import a car that uses 3.3 litres/100km and has the lowest carbon footprint on the planet, including electric cars if you consider power plant emissions. The arrogant *******s at the local Smart Dealer, Baker Motors, didn't like me parking my old stepvan out front or my wearing T-shirt/blue jeans into the showroom that has NO SMART CARS FOR SALE! I laid out $15,000 in $100 bills fanned them out on the desk and said, "I'd like a Smart For 2 CDi with just an air conditioner installed, please." NO GO. They would make me a deal on a new Maybach they're stuck with, now that Maybach is going out of production, however....(c; I bundled my cash back up but they did take my name and number...finally. Noone wants to sell me a new car! I can't believe it! I suppose I'm out of touch but what is a "Smart CDi diesel car"? A maker called "Smart" or does that refer to the engine controls? I ask as all the newer diesel pickups made in Thailand have computer controlled injection these days. Bruce-in-Bangkok (correct Address is bpaige125atgmaildotcom) |
