Mills in Munich

Our new car!

So we picked up our new car today - a four door Smart car. Since it's a four door, it's bigger than the tiny Smart cars you see in North America. It's still a small car, but has room for luggage, which will be important as we begin to travel around Europe, and room for a decent amount of groceries.

Smart cars can also be driven either as automatic or standard. Since the default for most cars here in Europe is standard, we had a hard time finding any automatic. Fortunately the Smart cars can be driven either way (but if they are driven as a standard, there is no clutch, just the gear shifting).

You can see pictures of our new car below. Just click on the picture to open up a photo album with more photos. C chose the colour - she liked the pale blue.

It's a great little car so far, and although the public transit system in Munich is wonderful, it's nice to have wheels again.
