Adding a dash-mounted GPS system

I actually did this modification to my smart back in May, but I just got a chance to post it. So,as promised, here it is: First off, I owe a lot of thanks to forfiveone. He did the original research and used his smart as a guinea pig for this mod. To avoid a lot of duplication, I will give you the link to his original post, and then give you the overview of how my mod differed. Here is forfiveone's… Continue

I have a confession...

Wow... July already. It's been a very long time since I've posted, but then life has been a hub of activity. And I gotta admit, I've been cheating on you guys... I've been keeping another blog. I've actually had this other blog since 2004, so technically, this was the homewrecker of a blog that interrupted my peaceful life at my first blogsite. I feel so dirty. At any rate, I haven't forgotten all… Continue

Passion, GIB!

So, after 2 months of, "Your vehicle delivery date cannot be estimated at this time", I finally get the message, "October 2009 to December 2009", from the DDE. I can't wait that long! It sucks, 'cause my Jeep isn't going to last much longer... it's quickly going from dream car to shit pile. I had my fun, but the engine is sputtering and I've already spent more money on it than it's worth. Also, I spent 60 dollars for 3/4 of a tank of gas today. Without a transfer to a closer store I can drive m… Continue

I Haven't Died, Just Got to Heaven!

Finally, May 21, 2008 smartxs was delivered! Drove her home and then around a bit that evening so she had 42 miles on the odometer. But then I had to abandone her! Friday I had to leave for a weekend Optimist District meeting in Sacramento, and I WOULD have taken smartxs but I had two passengers to take along and NEITHER was willing to ride in the trunk! Sunday we got home and I installed the NAV/Bluetooth/XM radio and the arm rest. A few more miles running around and taking the wife for a te… Continue

Modifying, UK

Does anyone know any good websites where I might be able to purchase modifications for my Smart in the UK? I have found a few like Smart-Parts-Direct and SmartsRus. I also know a german website that ships to the UK. These are parts like Glovebox, cd holder, pedels, handbrake... etc Little bits. Continue

I'm the most popular girl on the block

I was at the construction site today doing a frame-walk for my soon to be completed townhouse and all the construction crew came crowding around my car as I was leaving. They wanted to look inside, to see the engine, asked many many questions... I felt like a star!! I guess up against all the pick up trucks and SUV, my little Frosty is like the new kid in town. Had a blast being the centre of attention. I LOVE MY CAR and I don't care who knows it! Cheers everyone, have a fabulous weekend! Continue

Midtown smart dealership...

I emailed the dealership to see if they might be throwing a similar smart car get-together and Ravi says he'll keep me informed. They may try and organize a customer appreciation event and to try and boost sales for the summer months. This is the right time to do it considering the price of gas keeps going up, up, up!! UNBELIEVABLE!! Luckily I'm smart and I own a smart car. :) Continue

Tent makes a great shady parking spot...

I've been in search for furniture since my new townhouse will be move-in ready in mid-August. Me and my house mate were at the Brick yesterday looking at the tent sale items... we saw the huge red and white tent from the street. Looks like we missed this tent sale as the tent was empty and deserted. Being that it was a hot day, the tent would make for great shade. On advice from my friend Kent, I drove through between two well placed cement blocks and VOILA - instant shade. :) Needless to say th… Continue

Could it Take ANY Longer?!

Well, the dealer got about 15 new cars in this weekend. VINs range from 138,000 to 142,000. My vin is 141,630. Guess which vehicle wasn't in the delivery! I am sure it also means that mine will be delivered in the next few days. Now I am REALLY excited! Will probably be heart-attack excited when the car actually arrives! Time for practicing the breathing exercises. If I don't, I might forget to breathe. breathe, breathe. I know you are probably tired of hearing about the car not being here.… Continue

Well, maybe. e-mail from smart center San Jose today: smartxs unloaded today, delivery to dealer usually takes 10 days and they will get it serviced as quickly as possible and notify me when it is ready for delivery. and yes, we know you don't want the front license plate installed. My response: Don't install the front license plate! Money is burning a hole in my pocket waiting for delivery. Remember: This IS my Birthday Month!! Thanks. So that would put delivery to the dealer a week from th… Continue

Whadaya Mean NO CAR!?

Dealer got NO deliveries Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or today - I was SURE it would arrive this week and deliver next (after all I told the dealer this is Birthday Month!) and the dealer wants me OUTTA the showroom! Yes, it really is birthday month, and YES I really do celebrate it ALL month! My wife will verify this. So, back to the line, and waiting. Nav is here, installation kits are here, arm rest is here, scangauge is here, Zimmer's special imitation disk brake drum covers are here, the… Continue

Road Trip! Betcha can't catch me.... cause I'm smarter than you are you big, old, dumb SUV.

My sister has opened a very snazzy little gift shop in Greenville, Delaware and I decided for the Grand Opening which was today I would show up with the new smart and maybe help promote the shop. She is selling embroidery and monogramming services on new C.A.D. sewing machine, plus cool high end fashion accessories and house wares for ladies and pets.

May 5th Update from the Road...

Sorry this is a multi-post as life on the road is a LOT harder then I had figured, haven't even had the chance to figure out how to get the 5 web cams I now have in the car to work with my lap top, but there is hope to figure that out for tomorrows events.

smart fortwo

So I'm pretty sure these cars are amazing. With the increase of cost for gas... everyone who drives a smart fortwo is laughing at everyone right now with huge trucks and fancy cars at the gas stations that cost like over %100 to fill the tank. I know I would be laughing and being like " Ha ha suckers.. I'm paying less and can drive more" because I would be paying alot less money..but I don't own a smart fortwo..soo they are pretty much laughing at me and I completely understand :P, BUT I plan on… Continue

April 29: Halifax to Ontario

Well I headed out from Halifax at 5pm, was a little late getting out as needed to make a stop at BestBuy to get a few extra camera parts and a whole lot of memories cards, but was out on the road at 5. This would be the first time that I put the smart on the highway for longer then 30 minutes, so a lot of unknowns, but after the first 2 hours I was smiling as the smart handles and was for me no different then driving any other vehicle. I drove and drove, first thing that got me on the brakes w… Continue

A long wait but it has arrived at the dealership

It's been since mid November that I placed my customized order and finally after thinking it was a February delivery, then a March delivery, I'm to pick up my brand new Smart fortwo on Wednesday April 30. I can honestly say that I was getting pretty impatient and I don't know how many people could have held off this long without getting somewhat upset. I know that our American Friends have been waiting much longer and patiently for the delivery so I shouldn't gripe so muh. I will let you know h… Continue

Ordering on-line

I order a lot of stuff on line, and since I knew the smart was on the way, I guess I have gotten carried away buying it birthday presents. (Can you really spoil a smartie?!) Of all the items I have ordered, only one transaction has presented a problem. But, I get ahead of myself. You've possibly read my earlier posts about the mirror accessories, the arm rest, trunk storage unit, the scangauge and Lord knows what else is in the other room! It is getting so crowded I am afraid to go in - kind o… Continue

A good week... Monday was the fashion photo shoot with Barry the VW - what started out as a 4-hour day turned into a 9-hour day. It was Barry's last 'job' before he goes to the car-spa for restoration, and Monday's job paid for the paint job at least. I've seen a few more Smarties on… Continue

Arm Rest, VIN check, and THAT is about all!

I received my arm rest from that great eBayer Witold Swirski in London Ontario Canada. Just what was promised and looks of good quality. I am PLEASED by the service and the product. Thanks Witold! As noted in my last blog post, I got my VIN. I cruised by the San Jose, CA dealer today and noticed he has 21 cars on the lot, so - what the heck! - curious as the proverbial cat, I perused the smarts and checked VINs. Hey! Why NOT? On one side of the lot were 'old' cars - VINs in the 101-109,000 ran… Continue

Starting to see smart fortwo's on the road

I was so excited today, I saw my first smart in SLO (San Luis Obispo, CA). It buzzed by me as cute as can be. I saw it again parked at Cosco, and of course I had to look it all over along with a few other shoppers. Then parked in a McDonalds another smart, this one was special it had a light green body color with a gray tridion. What a day!!! Continue

VIN!!!!!

Well, I got the '30 day' email from my dealer telling me the car was manufactured and shipping to CA and should arrive within 30-40 days for delivery to me. And this after a nasty note to smartUsA about the DDE and inconsistent stories only minutes before. I responded asking for the VIN and I feel like I have kinda been jerked around the last week, but I HAVE the VIN! Maybe I will have it by mid-May, and maybe it will be a little later, but I now have something more solid than the DDE which ha… Continue

Maybe it was just a dream!

I was SURE that I had reserved a smart fortwo last June, and I was SURE I had configured that car in January, but......maybe it was just a dream, or maybe I imagined it. Seems like, if it was all real, that I'd be driving one by now, or at least expecting it soon, but according to the DDE, which has changed FIVE TIMES in two weeks, my estimated delivery date is now June 28, 2008 to September 26, 2008. I guess I should be happy it gives me a date at all! People who are not in my shoes cannot im… Continue

Is the smart a smart choice for me?

I have a very short commute. In my car, if I hit all green lights, it takes 5 minutes door-to-door. If I hit all of the lights or leave at "peak" time, it takes as long as 15 minutes. Long enough that I can't walk reasonably, too dangerous to ride a bicycle (although many brave ones undertake this task every morning), but perfect for a super small car or a Vespa. My husband is completely against a Vespa for the same reason I won't ride a bike. People who drive my route every morning are just pl… Continue

Bumper car or not to Bump Her Car + Manufacturing video of Your smartie

But this site has several interesting items that maybe we will see on this side of the ocean some day. http://www.smartsrus.com/srus/136_Stainlesssteelprotect.html Do a cut and paste and enjoy.

DDE Part 3, or is it 4, 5?

I don't know if anyone is following this blog, or even cares about their DDE, but I care about mine, and fortunately the smartUSA site says check back often as it may change! Well, I do check it often, and you will see why. I know there are many out there reserving today and they are getting DDEs into 2009 up to 18 months out from their reservation. My reservation number is 1205, I reserved 4/20/07 and have been waiting just under a year. I know I have longer to wait because my dealer said so,… Continue

Disappointment - well barely

I reconfigured my car, at the last possible minute instead of anticipating far enough in advance to actually entertain a chance they would be able to meet my request. Well, I anticipated they would meet it anyhow. I thought my DDE had been extended because they were actually going to make the changes. Then my DDE suddenly got much shorter. Reality was smartUSA called today to let me know the car had already been manufactured and was in transit, so the changes couldn't be implemented. How do I… Continue

You will also know that my dealer called with a delivery date within 90 days, and even that fell into a mid-July timeframe. Well, today's date changed on the DDE. Mr Schembri, Thank You!

DDE fluctuation

I've read on this forum and others that the DDE has ranged up to 120 days. Mine seems to have settled for about a 90 day range, but it seems to change every day! If I hadn't been printing out the page, I might have thought that I was losing my mind, but today the delivery period changed again. Someone at smart must have been reading my posts, because instead of extending a day because another day has passed, the entry day stayed the same and the exit day DROPPED! Now is April 27 - July 25, 200… Continue

Just walked into the local Smart dealer, and went home with a Cabrio the next...

morning. Apparently if you hound the local sales team, they will contact you (or if you happen to be lucky enough to be standing in the sales lobby - as I did) and tell you that someone didn't pick up their car in the appointed time (2 weeks), and hence, they need to get them sold ASAP (so that they can get their next allotment). I bought mine on Sat and drove it home Sunday morning. Laughed the whole way home. I was contacted earlier in the week via email and told "my car" was not going to be b… Continue

I checked the DDE today and there was actually a date! (Well a range of dates, acutally.) Previously I just had April through June, but now I have April 26th through July 25th, so I must have hit the 90 day window for production. Was it caused by my re-configuration? Was it going to happen anyway? Was it because I joined the 451s forum? Bigger question might be if this is the post-re-configuration date or if it will be revised to reflect a delay caused by the 'act!' Whatever! I feel like I a… Continue
