Smart Car Morphs into Art Car

Perhaps you remember a few weeks ago I posted a blog entry about Nancy Noel May's new Smart Car. Nancy is the General Manager of and one of the artists whose work are featured at Spectrum Art and Jewelry in the Forum Shops in Wilmington. This morning I went to a meeting of the Wilmington Bloggers at The Connection Cafe and guess what was in the parking lot!!


Nancy went to the folks at Image Monster and had them wrap her Smart Car with an image of one of her paintings. For more information on the newly adorned vehicle, which Nancy has named "Bebe", check out her website http://www.artsmartcar.com/ and her blog http://www.artsmartcar.blogspot.com/.

Is This Smart?

Earlier this week I stopped by our friend Star Sosa's Spectrum Art and Jewelry in the parking lot saw Nancy Noel May's new ride. I'd heard Nancy was buying a Smart Car but hadn't yet seen it. So now I've seen it and photographed it. Next time I visit I may work up to asking for a ride, but I thought you might like so see photos of it from all sides.

Nancy drove to Wilmington from Cary on I-40 and said it felt safe and stable. Star added that it reminded her somewhat of riding in early Honda Civic.

I don't know what it costs, how fast it will go or how great it does with gas mileage, but here's the official Smart USA website. And here are some more photos.
