Hello, Do you still have the front steel wheel available, and at what cost. I only need the wheel, not the tire. Thanks, Ron

they'd have to be small people, that knocks down the passenger weight capacity to 400 pounds :-P

the amp only comes with the premium sound system. the #10 radio is the same as the 9 except for single disc capacity. i got a #10 on e-bay cheap and it had no extra amplifier.

yes, i agree, use plain old atmosphere. the thing that loses "air" is the porosity of aluminum wheels. people with old fashioned stamped steel wheels have lower pressure loses over time. now more and more cars have optional or standard aluminum al...

8 months after

hi all,

today is my 8 month anniversary of the delivery of my smart. got my first oil change yesterday at 5280 miles (bought the filter a week ago at my smart center, the smart tech was off on saturday)

i love my smart, 8 months later, unlike my wife, the smart is better to me than my wife. even today, i got 9 thumbs ups (that i saw) as i drove my smart (what other car gets thumbs ups?) (my last 2 cars, a MB 190E and a geo metro never got a single thumb!) i loved both other cars, but never got… Continue

You have helped me in the past...Is there a Auto Parts Store where I can order a bulb (turn signal/brake) for rear? Also have you heard of anyone's fan (heating/air) not coming on for days...then magically working fine??

Stephen is a good friend. He has asked me to help update and run the forum. I hope we will all work together and grow what SN started. You can email him direct or me if you have any questions or helpful ideas.

My wife already said she won't drive it, beacause somebody at her work told her it's to small and that makes it unsafe. I don't know how it can be unsafe when you are in a roll cage with four air bags and seat belts. She won't like the shifting either so it's pretty much a shoe in that I will be the only one driving it. She choose the SS pickup last time so it's my turn for this car. I hope you get a BRABUS as well. Best of luck.

Thanks again for your comments

The base price for the silver / silver combination is 17,990 and thats what I ordered. I also added the front fog lamps 110.00, the daytime running lights 50.00, the anti-theft system 160.00, and the premium sound system 350.00. I finally sold my 2003 SS Chevy pickup for 20,000 dollors and had allready planed on spending about 17,000 on a passion w/allot of options anyway. So the BRABUS upgrade didn't cost that much more. Now I don't have to worry about the to small of tires and rims thing on the front anymore. Just the rougher ride. But my wife allready hates this whole smart car thing. Maybe if the car looks better she will learn to like it. LOL I don't know if I will get it sooner now that I changed my reservation to a BRABUS but I was hoping so. They are made somewhere else. Only time will tell.

Thanks for your comment,

Not so smart

You need anger management and human interaction therapy. People are just here sharing ideas not to read you garbage you put out. Learn to behave and try to be positive. Get a hold of yourself and breath. Its a kinder world out there and you are welcome to be a part of it.

As an update, I've had the Solo Performance exhaust for several months. I find it to be too loud for normal driving. I've put Dynamat and even put the sound barrier and it is still too loud. I've compared it with other people's exhaust and they ha...

Everyone is always open to an opinion... but sometimes it isn't done in the best of tastes. And when that unfortunately happens, the record needs to be set straight for all.

To all forum members: It unfortunately appears as if a smart car parts vendor and a former supplier of parts for Smart Madness has suddenly decided to create and post negative posts on all major smart car forums about us, our team members and a p...

Cisco, It is unfortunate that you have taken your anger out publicly against one of our team members at Smart Madness. What is even more disappointing is that you haven't even once come to us to let us know any of this has happened to your smart. ...
