1363 Invited in South Texas

I just got my invite to configure at 10:25 AM 4/28/08. Hang time from "reservation" is seven months exactly


I finished reserving at 10:30.

Now my DDE says...

Your vehicle delivery date cannot be estimated at this time because the configuration step for your vehicle was not completed. Please contact smart customer service at 1.800.smart.USA (762.7887) for assistance or click here to send an email.

patience grasshopper patience.... you heard the rumor "they are using SAP"

thus it will be 65 days before the programmers apply the work around to update the non intuitive non Boolean date estimater.....

I really suspect there to be a key card puncher who only works Saturdays

You going to orphan your ordered car or get rid of the red headed stepchild?

I might keep this one or trade it in. The red has really grown on me. Of course, I'd like it a lot more if smart would cowboy up and fix the damned blister mark but hey, live an learn... Last I heard the matter was still "under investigation". (WARNING: To all smart invistigators , I am WAY over armed so don't go snooping around at night)

I put a new scanguage on it today and got excited all over again. I was getting 42 just being myself but was able to squeeze 56 out of one 22 mile highway run just by turning off the AC and paying attention to the MPG/RPM/GPH/TPS on the gauge. You can get a lot out of adjusting the nut behind the wheel.

I did have some minor palpitations when I screwed the base of the Ram Mount ball into the area under the dash just to the right and above the 12v socket. I used the universal mount so I can put in my Kiaser or Zune if I get bored looking at the Scangauge.

Back on topic... A lot of what I do with my "reservation" smart will depend on smart. We'll see when the time comes.

I explained smart to FIFTEEN people today.

FIFTEEN.

(just today)

Guy fifteen acutally heard the last part of my smart rap to guys 10-14 and said "Man, whoever makes this car should pay YOU for advertising it".
