Hello from Northern California. I have 5,700 miles and now I've decided to start running it harder. I've babied it long enough! It is actually a kick to drive. Shifting close to 5,000 RPM and the thing is screaming. I'm going to add some goodies soon. Anyone know about the intake modification and the dual muffler? I don't want the thing to be loud. Any suggestions?

Hi everyone! I bought a new silver brabus yesterday, 4.17.10. I drove all around today with the top down and the heater on. It's still a little cold. Just want to see what's up with this cute little car.

Welcome! come join us for Nationals and the Dragon events.

I think the Mid Atlantic group is planning something around the Poconos or somewhere for a road trip. check out their ideas in Chapters and Regions.

We bought a 09 Brabus coupe in April 09. We put 10,000 miles on it and traded it in on a 2010 Passion today. It rides alot better because of more sidewall profile. I couldn't put a hitch on the rear of the Brabus to mount a spare while I tow it behind of the motorhome. The passion is a better fit for me. Does anyone know where I can get a 2 inch receiver hitch for the rear of the Smart? I don't want the 1 1/4 inch one from e-hitch. The two inch will work better with accessoies like bike racks etc. Also I would like to get a spare tire folding mount that can go into the hitch. I've seen some good prototypes in the forum. Are any available yet? Thanks for your help. We love the Smart car and the community that own them. We bought ours from Smart Center Seattle. They made us feel like we were family.
