hi, i'm expecting to be a proud owner of a smart by the end of the summer, the first thing i am doing to it is upgrading the sound system. Do you mind telling me the specs of what you put in. size and brand of the 9 speaker?, location of each? any a…
smart exhausts are much like those on the old air cooled VW's so much has to fit in a small space. For years driving VW's i learned if you try to get a cheap system, it will fall out from under your VW in 5 or 6 months. All I can say is make sure yo…
When you come to own a Smart it is just not like buying another car. This experience is going to change your life for good. The moment you take the keys turn the ignition on and drive off the dealers parking lot you have just stepped into the world of being a celebrity. Your life from this point on is going to change. The trip to mall or super market is going to take longer because you have a line of people who have questions about your car. Your coworkers are going to be jealous of you as yo… Continue

Hey Andy!
The good people of the SoCal smarties are missing your genius creativity with the brand, and your cool persona. Do you still have that awesome smart? The new kids, and the new administration, need to meet you. They will be as honored as I am, I'm sure.

Hi Andy!
Missed you at the Bev. Hills thing. Despite what you may have heard, a LOT of good folks were there - about 90+(should have been more) cars. Nobody got a sales pitch, no political agendas, just a fun run with fun folks. The only thing forced on me was coffee and donuts and other gifts. It didn't hurt a bit! Vinnie was a terrific host. Beverly Hills Police were terrific also. They have a "black&white" smart!
I regret that I joined the kill-joys, in that I had to run off before the group photo on top of the Petersen. A smart time was had by all.
Andy, any news on if you can come out this Saturday? Smart Madness will be hosting their own anniversary party March 21st. I posted info on the forum, take a look. Long story short, 4smartcar.com stepped in, them and BH Smart Center changed the day to a "promo" for 2009 smarts, Boris & Rachel didn't feel that was appropriate and they bowed out of the event. It'd be great if you could come to the Smart Madness event!
Andy,
I'm serious about coming down to LA, I didn't keep your address but I will take you up on the wheel and tire. Let me know when and where we can meet. I'll program you into GPS and head that way in the smart. [email protected] or 831 784-1941 home 831 402-4165 cell.

Awesome! Thank you for the kind offer. If things drag on any further, I'll head your way.
So, I got out my ruler.....and it looks like the 215mm tire width will only allow about a half inch of "shoulder" on the tires on these 7.5" rims. Not a lot of curb protection for the wheels. Hmmm, maybe I should go to 225mm tire face......

Andy,
To tell you the truth, I can't wait!!
The tires will arrive on Monday. I will post photos.
This was almost as bad as waiting for the car! (Remember, I purchased the wheels before Christmas.) February 16th I will finally roll them.
That's all I have to say about that today.
Couldn't tell you if it's any better or not I did just have a service last Saturday at The Smart center in Orange Park and was treated like gold, had a great loaner car to go grab lunch in and my car was ready way ahead of schedule and spotless (my…
