That was a "twang," this is a "ting" - big difference.

I don't know a 'ting about either one.

Just drive it and have fun, there's no real right or wrong way. Your Smart won't let you do anything that's out of its pre- programmed range anyway, so you won't damage it. (Well, I wouldn't try to shift into reverse while going forward, or vice-versa - but it probably would block those actions too.I just wouldn't want to find out since some folks have had wierdness happen by shifting to the opposite direction while just rolling.)
