Well the good news is we're still going to get the car--due any day now.....after all, it wasn't the smart's fault the salesperson was a jacka**. My dream outcome here would be if he got a reckless driving ticket on his next "demo" on telegraph (are you listening OC sheriff?) But I would settle for somebody at Smart Bloomfield tellin him to cool it or else.

PS - how do you turn off your ABS?
Pull the fuse.

Sorry, can't find the ABS fuse listed in the US manual or on Kane's site. Do you mean the ESP fuse? I don't think that disables the ABS.

Eh?

I pull my ABS fuse. I have no idea what manual you're looking in. Are you talking about a Smart? I don't have either of mine yet, so I have no idea how to disable the ABS in a Smart.

I know you'll love that car! I picked mine up from Tom about 2 months ago now and the ride home to Ohio, was the best ever!! I know he is crazy on the test drive, but he is extremely thorough on telling you every little thing about your car. Be prepared to spend a while going over the car with him at time of delivery. Best delivery experience I have ever had. I just wish I had a reason to drive the 135 miles back to the dealer to look at all the other little buggers!! Mine is a rarity around here. Have fun!!

Fuse 11 kills all traction control, abs, and hill assist. Your owners manual has a diagram.
