If you haven’t seen a SmartCar yet (the one above was on Morris Avenue about a month ago), be prepared to see many more in the coming months and years cruising around town. The car first made an appearance in town last year as part of a cross-country promotional tour. Now, one of the 72 SmartCar dealerships in the country is located in Hoover. They received one of their first car shipments about two weeks ago (I didn’t have a camera – doh). Anyone out there own one of these yet?
