Information sheet to keep in smart

I know, that when I take delivery of my smart, I will be asked many questions when I go somewhere by interested people that have never seen one before. I have read on another forum where someone typed up a one page info sheet and keeps copies of it in their smart to hand out to people that they can take with them so as to try to answer their questions. Does anyone plan to do the same, and if so, do you already know what to type up for the sheet? If not, does anyone have a good idea of what to put on a sheet of paper that would be the best things to put on it?
I thought that if someone came up with a good list (I really don't know what all to put on it or I would) we could share it here and people could copy it and make their own copies. Any suggestions?

See a lot of these at car shows - usually lots of technical info and any neat history tidbits. Hadn't thought about it for the smart but it's a good suggestion. I'll laminate the sheet and just leave it on the dash. Should include the url for this forum also.

I've had a binder with information like this about my smart car inside the car and display it with the car at every car show I have attended. It includes a FAQ, specs, pictures and some of the pictures of smart car crashes I have found on the net. Granted my information is for the G&K converted 450 models, not for the 2008 451 models.

It would be great if the dealers participated in putting this together. Their name and address and contact info could be at the bottom of the page generating traffic and interest to the local dealers.

Who knows maybe some of them would actually produce a piece for us and provide the early owners with copies to give away!

They were passing out small brochures at the LA Auto Show and at the smart house. Best to find a bunch of these to keep with you when you don't want to hang around answering questions everytime you stop to go to the bathroom.

I grabbed a bunch at the LA Auto Show and Smart House. I'll probably be the only one with a smart in the Palmdale/Lancaster CA area.
