    This is our new baby, a 2006 Smart for 2.
    My wife loves it. She is a stained glass artist.
    How about you guys? What's your mode of travel?

    (there is a problem when I have to move a large painting....but the fuel economy is GREAT!)

    I'm 19 and I don't even know how to drive. I refuse to do it unless absolutely necessary.

    But good choice! cars suck but that's pretty much as "good" as you could get.

    we have a mini van ($2000) and my daily commute car.( $300-good car, just a salvage title)
    The mini van is for going out to create (we are live painters as well as textile and photog) and getting all the gear from home to show.
    THe daily commute car is in danger of becoming an art car.

    A true artist is a starving artist. She walks or rides a bike. Because bikes are cooler anyways. ;)

    Hmm...Michelangelo would have disagreed. At death his estate was a HUGE fortune. But then again, he lived in different times. The "starving artist" never became fashionable until the 19th century.

    Had 2 cars, a Ford Escort wagon which was great for carrying paintings and surfboards, but sold it in September, and then Christmas weekend my Toyota Corolla was stolen. But in New York a car is not really needed, except to go to the beach. But I plan on rigging up my scooter to carry a surfboard somehow.

    Duh, real artists don't drive cars. They ride in limousines.
