Welcome to the forum! I like the Fit as well, especially the new gen model.

If you're interested in tracking and sharing your gas mileage, we always need a few more smart owners on Fuelly.com.

JJ, welcome from Frankfort Indiana. Get a hold of einsteins mommy and get her your email address, we have an extra active Indiana group that associates off site by email as well as on here. Mostly we mail out reminders of events and such that have been posted on this site.

The guy said it best on the movie Vacation when he said, "We like (spitting watermelon seeds) to send out a little mailer"

Hey.....I resemble that remark!

Yes, welcome to the asylum, JJ.

Hopefully next year you can attend out 'smart Indy Meet' at IMS. We'll take a lap of the track in our cars and then meet up in the infield for a tailgate party, tour the musuem and pits, etc. Great event. Next year will be our '2nd annual' one and with any luck, will be even BIGGER AND BETTER!

See ya around Indy.

BP.......also 'zipping around Indy', keeping Jetfuel from from seeing any more of my smart than the BACK END!

Welcome

JJ welcome to the forum, and as PD pointed out, you can send either Einsteinsmommy or myself a PM if your interested in our statewide club. We will make sure you are added to the list. We are always looking for new members.

We had a really busy September with events in several locations, but now the calendar is bare. Anyone out there interested in hosting a get together? I know with the holidays coming, November & December are probably out for most of us, but we are always open to a member offering to host a meet-n-greet. Especially around Indy.

I thought the next event was at your house where you were going to feed all of us Turkey and the fixens?

Actually we are trying to get as many together as possible on 11/28/2009 at 5pm to meet at The Burlington Scoop, it is their last day and they will give us extra special deals for us smarties. For those of you that went on the poker run, you know how good the food and ice cream is and how much they DO LOVE the smart cars
