looking forward to lots of discussion.

Welcome! This should get you started:

"what size is the gas tank?"

"what's that tapping sound?"

"why is the transmission so jerky?"

"why can't I fit 20 inch wheels?"

and the ever popular "why doesn't my smart get better gas mileage?"

"My battery died"

" My radio comes on when I start the car"

and my favorite, "why is it so hard to get together with other NYC smart owners?"

I was in New York City back Memorial Day Weekend, and two gals in my group who are both Native New Yorkers said i never see a Smart car that they are so small the NYC Cabbies would crush them in a second and that they never work in NYC traffic. Saw one White Passion in Chinatown on a sunday and said " LOOK A SMART CAR!!" "I TOLD YOU THERE BE SOME IN NEW YORK CITY!!!!"
I even saw one more in Brooklyn that same night. A sliver and blue cabrio to be exact. To know that there are some more in the big apple is so worth seeing. After all, they are a "city car " right? BTW if any of you have any pictures of your Smarts in the city id like to get them so i can rub it in
