Oh and their is an Octopus car wash down the street if you need to get that salt off just before you show off your cars. Maybe you could get a two for one price.

Hello everyone, just checking in with the latest details.
We are very excited that you guys are coming!

So far I have down these smart car owners as attending:
gleiser
Giant Killer
lakelouie
Curtis

Is anyone specifically willing to give a "walkthrough" and tell us about your car? I'm sure I could wing it, but I wouldn't do them justice. You guys are the experts.

I would like all 4 cars to be put indoors for viewing.

For the indoor parking people...
Please drive your cars to the service garage doors, where they will then direct you to the indoor parking spaces. The service garage doors are to the right of the main entrance if you come in by the lights. Alternately it has it's own driveway off of Odana Rd. Stop and talk to one of the service advisors; they will know where to direct you to park.

I don't have more room than that indoors so if anyone else plans on coming please park out in the parking lot according to the directions I gave the rest of the people below.

Feel free to PM me with questions.

See you Saturday!

Here is what I just sent out to club members.

Hello Madison Hybrid Group members and friends!

This Saturday, January 10th, is the first MHG meeting of 2009. 10:00 am - Noon.

It was decided at the last meeting to continue to hold our meetings at Smart Motors at 5901 Odana Rd. in Madison.

Drive in the main entrace (at the stoplights) and you'll see our designated parking area straight ahead against the Beltline side of the parking lot.

Saturday is a regular sales day for the dealership, and they would like to set aside a parking area for our club, so please RSVP or post here letting me know if you will be coming so that we have enough spaces. Thanks!

We have special guests this month. Some smart car owners are coming to show off their vehicles! If you don't know what smart cars are, check out smart USA - open your mind to the car that challenges the status quo

What's the matter with you guys in Wisconsin?

The Packers have been out of the playoffs since the middle of October. You should have all the time in the world to get out there and meet other fellow Smart owners.......

Wow! What a great time! I got to meet GiantKiller in person! I feel so honored! He is definitely one of the coolest people I've met. And his smart car is one everyone should check out if you ever get the chance.

I'm heading out to the Detroit auto show, so I'm not sure I'll get to post any pics up before I go. Got some fun ones comparing the size of the smart vs. a Honda Insight and a Toyota Prius.

GiantKiller even had his name picked for one of the of the fabulous door prizes. He must be lucky!

We went out to lunch at a local Mexican restaurant and he even let me drive his car. First smart I've ever driven. Fun! Lot's of good conversation and I know I learned a lot.

You smart guys and gals are always welcome at our meetings. Every other month on the second Saturday. 10-noon. Next Meeting is in March. See you around!

edit: added photos on the web at this web page
