SERVICE MANUAL MYSTERY

Do any listers out there have any idea where I can secure a facfory-type service manual for my 451? I've come up against a brick wall at my dealership, where I was informed no manual is available. What a load of crapola! Do smart centers expect owners to rely on the shadowy expertise of their understaffed service and parts departments? Is Roger Penske trying to control EVERY aspect of smart ownership?After waiting over a year for my car, I should at least have the opportunity to work on it myself. Hell, I can't afford $100/hour labor charges. Can you?

I concure that the smart has just enough road feel to keep me alert and awake for long periods of time behind the wheel. The car is totally comfortable for long trips. I do not have cruise control or an armrest. The cruise might be nice but I have n…
