Went to Smart car house, customers are aware!

Took a drive up to the Smart house in Venice Beach. After running into a couple reservation holders it almost seemed that customers knew more about the car then the staff of the Smart house! I was pleased to see chrome Smart wheels and 17 inch wheels being offered in a showcase from Brabus.

No real news but I did get a couple pics of the tailgate storage area that I have yet to see online.

Cool the Smart radio will operate on a 10min basis with no key in the ignition. The requires a button being depressed to turn it on for another 10min.

The Brabus rims will be offered with run flats, no mention of price.

I had'nt heard this before but according to an employee the tires will be covered under the Smart car warranty for an undetermined amout of time.

Excited about the car as ever. If your in the area please make it a point to stop by the Smart house!

I'll add pics to this post later. Gotta move over from camera, resize in Photoshop CS, upload to ftp, oh how hard it is! Sleep.......mmmmmmm.....

Very nicely done, Aaron. Thanks for your efforts. I'm hoping to visit the house just after the 30th.

No problem. Please msg me you e-mail address if anyone wants any pictures in high resolution. The red interior is growing on me more and more each day. To bad it's cloth. Reminds me when I was searching for Z06's a few years back. They had a optional interior color called "modified red" that I loved! Ended up settling for black leather.

Thanks!!
