North Carolina here!

Any more Carolinians here?

Concord is here.

Hello Bill, I see you are between the mall and the speedway, very nice convenient location. I visit a friend that lives in Mallard Creek subdivision from time to time.

[Billc]

Great. That's just up the street from me. Been here all my life. I am the last local left. A large hotel with a water park is being built across from me. Its getting busy here. We may have to move to the other side of the county.

Look forward to getting my car. Have not been this excited in years about a car. This thing just makes you feel good.

Carolinian...yes...but the South kind

Welcome to the forum.

BillC, I thought it looked like you were kinda lonely with all the commercial buildup around you there in Concord. And soon it looks like you will have a big 1/4 mile dragstrip near you as well as Lowes Speedway. I love to hear the rumble of horsepower....especially when I don't have to feed the horses..... Go Smart4two! ;)

I'm in Winston too. I have talked to a few of the salespeople at or local MB dealer. They carry the Maybach and I was guessing the SMART wasn't far behind. They said the training and the showroom is coming along pretty quickly.

Welcome, We should plan a trip to the Tail of the Dragon next year. I think 317 curves in 11 miles would be fun in this little car. If you don't know about the Dragon just Google it. Its at Deals Gap NC.

Have been to the Gap twice, once on a Kawasaki ZXR400R I got from Japan and then with a MINI Cooper S ( 200 hp ) two years ago. The ride up and home sucks.
If your up the Winston way we can do 66 it's a local mini Dragon. I pulled 1.1 Gs with my MINI up there. Gotta love the Yokkohama Prada Spec IIs.
