Look who came to live at Red Bell Farm today! I'm pleased to introduce you to the newest member of the family, Miz Red Belle. Yes, she's a cute little Smart car. I drove to Omaha this morning to pick her up, and I couldn't be happier with her. The whole experience of buying this new car was pleasant, and the customer service I received far exceeded my expectations. The woman I'd been conversing with over the phone about my purchase actually bought my Rav4 from me. After 228, 121 miles my faithful companion of 10 years is going to a nice person who drives 5 miles round trip to work and whose big ole Rottweiler is doing the happy dance...finally a car he can ride in! Miz Red Belle is a Passion coupe with a panoramic top...like a sun roof except it doesn't open and has a sunshade you can pull over it. She's a 5-speed with paddle shifters which means I can drive either in automatic mode or as a manual. I chose manual as I'm most familiar with that. She loved the Interstate...65, 70, 75 mph, she just hummed along. Because this car has front wheel drive, it handled a little differently than the Rav on my gravel road, but I think that will be fine once I get used to it. I've "moved in"...sunglasses, parking card, shopping bags and a couple of old red, white, gold and black saddle blankets to protect Lucie's seat and the trunk...I'm good to go!Yes, it was sad to leave my Rav there on the car lot. I know Michelle and her doggie will love it, tho. So long, faithful friend!
PS...I know the whole name thing is kind of weird, but it's what Smart car owners do!

Hooray Evelyn-I'm psyched! Your friend and former owner of a purple Ford Ranger Splash named Willie Nelson! I love it and Miz Red Belle will be very happy with you and you with her!
Dear 6p0111683bf894970c...I know who you are...you can't fool me!! I love my new little friend. I thought about naming her something French, but couldn't resist the Red Bell Farm play on words (guess that's kind of French as they love little word plays)E
congratulations ! it really looks smart !
I wish you many happy years of motoring in Miz Red Belle, Evelyn.
My car is a Honda CRV called Henry.
I had a Mini Cooper called Bluebell too.
if you want Miz Red Belle to be really French, you could call her Madame Belle Rouge....maybe just on Sundays heh!
