New Owner Checking In

[slyck14]

We got our new 2008 Passion, Metalic Blue with Beige interior on 1 November. Mounted a Valentine One radar detector (how's that for optimistic???) and have tinted windows, graphics, mats and LoJak. I plan to purchase the alternative body panels in yellow, and hopefully intake and exhaust. Ay some point, I will do wheels and tires...!

The radar detector is a must youll fing the car love to run 65mph or so! If ya do get pulled use this " i just got this car and im tring to work the cruse control" while point to the shift paddles it worked for me a few times!lol and welcome

Thanks to smartYsmileS and maxtraxduffy for the welcome!!! I have been having a blast with this new toy. I normally drive my 2008 Corvette Z06, the Nissan Titan or the Mercedes C230 Kompressor, but haven't been in any of them since I got this last Saturday. It was an 'orphan', so I didn't have to go through the wait for an order.

I'm having NO luck adding a picture to my profile and don't know what I'm doing wrong. I reduced the size and I still get a failed message. Any ideas???

First, congrats on your new toy.
I have read somewhere in the forum that a new member has to post at least 3 times to be able to add images. You just reached 3, want to try again.

I just got home from a trip with our new SMART car and I found myself banging 80mph all the time with it. I was trying to run 70 or less, but the needle kept hitting 80..

I think it's German thing and the ankle angle on the German Oscar, the human form used to design the interior of vehicles.. I have the same issue with my Mini Coper "S", when I'm comfortable the thing is usualy on the high side of 80 MPH???

GS,
This should actually make it 4?? Anyway, thanks for your response. I'm having so much fun with it that I'm afraid the Vette is gonna gather dust in the garage!!!

Ray,

I just got back from Germany-love that autobahn, but don't think I want to rent a smart there-usually get a Merc or BMW.
