So, the Smart to start. Damn, but people like to look at that thing. Seriously, you get a new, say, Civic or other normal car, your co-workers look it over once, give a pat analysis, and that's it. Other people don't even notice it.
This fucker, though, it's like you've grown a second head and are wearing a sandwich board that says "ask me about my new car!" People talk to you in parking lots. People ask you questions in the office. People knock on your window and ask you questions as you're stopped at a red light.
I'm thinking of getting a couple dozen of the business cards, and just handing them off to people. "Here, go to http://www.smart.ca and get all the info you need!"
Failing that, "take a picture, it'll last longer."
A LOT of people are really, really interested in what it costs. Everyone assumes it must cost a mint due to it's precision German engineering. I just tell them the base price and they get real surprised. Everyone also assumes it's short, which it ain't.
I'm looking forward to summer, when the fuel efficiency kicks in full.
The Headblade is also fun. Seriously, if you shave your head, you need one of these puppies (and I know at least three of you DO shave your heads, so no excuses). The shave is so close, the latin ladies at work are calling me El Guapo Pelado.
Actually, they aren't. But everyone does like the shave. If you've thrown off the oppressive locks of hair (hah! Joke!) you owe it to yourself to give it a try. It makes your head gleam like a frickin' supervillain's. I feel like I should wear a white suit jacket and purple pants and have people killed. THAT'S how good a shave this is. Or slap on a purple and green outfit and try to take over the world.
Am also playing w/ Christmas Gift from Snra, KOTOR 2. Differently paced than the first one (you start out as a Jedi, but you don't get a Lightsaber until you've hopped through hoops) but enjoyable. Good plot. I don't know which of my companions I can trust. There's an Influence stat you have with each of them that shows how much they trust you; different influence stats determine which script chains you can enter. Quite cool.
