Great... I am on their orphan list.... I recieved lukewarm reception during my "scheduled" test drive and unable to get much information from them on the day I was there. Actually felt mistreated as nobody really wanted to talk to me.... SO... now I know... they will do ADD-ON.... You know, without this forum. We Smart fans have no avenue of any information exchange or knowning what's going on. I know many people waited and waited and get it eventually. BUT...........

  4. Custom body mouldings.
The stock car came with heated seats and power steering. They were willing to let me have it for $25K...only $10K more than the list price of what I ordered without half the stuff that I ordered.

Where do I sign up? Maybe I need to buy two.
Just curious as to exactly what it is about LoJack that "cracks" you up??
Am I missing something? Please enlighten those of us who are ignorant and do not understand your meaning.

Yeah, and you could hide this little car damn near anywhere! I could EASILY drive mine into my storage shed, and still have plenty of room for my lawn mower!

And an easy car to part-out. I noticed no NHTSA stickers affixed to the doors or body panels. I presume nothing is marked with the VIN (...unless it's inside the door panels?).

Somehow, I vaguely remember reading something about panels. It was said that a replacement panel (for a damaged one during transport) had to be specially ordered from Smartville because all panels are marked with the appropriate and matching VIN...
Anyone else recalls this?
