Wow, that's the first time I've heard South Orange County called rural since the Irvine family stopped farming the land and turned it into thousands of acres of tract homes and business parks.

You can see the other posts that list the number of reservations by date and estimate when they will get you. But every dealer will be getting cars next week, and if no one is a 1173 down there, perhaps a 1174 will be the first one.

Thanks for putting me on the list. But this is small potatoes compared to the email and phone call that are coming very soon.

I can't believe that just over 1.6 months ago I saw a smart in Paris and now I will be one of the first in the US to receive one. Wonderful...simply wonderful!

Emails tomorrow to all 1173s (that is almost a given for us!!!)

A prize of your smart car for MSRP for whoever posts their email first on this thread!

Prize to be delivered by your local smart dealer after signing all appropriate paperwork and paying MSRP to your dealer. No cars were hurt for this prize. No cars will be made available by spdickey (except my own, and that's MINE!) For more information, don't ask me!

Anyone have an idea of how many 1173's there are? Just wondering - about how many ahead of me, as an 1174 I probably will not get a call from my dealer for some time if there are a large amount.

We can only know the ones who are on this forum; I'm sure there are many more out there.

Don't know how to determine that. There are less than 10,000 forum members and as many as 30,000 reservations so not all are likely represented here.

Supposedly the first wave of configuration emails went to just 300 people back in late August but other 1173s didn't get config notices until the first week or two of Sept so it's difficult to tell.

Hopefully we will learn more as reservation contacts begin today.

I'm a 1174 as well (darm firewall caught my email so I didn't get in until I called on Day 2). But if I understand the process correctly it might not be that bad as the order is based on individual dealerships... so if my dealer has no 1173's in line then the 1174's move to next in queue. Being in Nebraska I can't imagine that many 1173's out there... Hope to find out later today!
