How many smarts in Raleigh area???

I've seen maybe four but there's got to be more. I haven't seen anyone on SCOA who is even from Triangle area.

I've seen quite a few around. I don't have mine yet- should be a couple more months, but this doesn't seem like a very active area for get togethers- maybe somone should talk to the Cary dealership about hosting an event so people get to know each other!! Jocelyn

Been told that our smart comes in this weekend. Here's to hoping. Been waiting since last May.

I've seen at least 4 or 5 around.

I reserved in May and ended up getting a orphan early in February when I had about 2 months left to wait. I'm much happier as I saved some money because I got as a passion with no options.

Had mine for almost 2 weeks now, black/black Cabrio. Loving it, even if it's rained more than not since I've gotten it.

I did see a Red/Black smart this evening around 5:30 turning off of Davis drive onto Mcrimmon Pkwy in the triangle. Never seen them before, will have to keep an eye out.

What options did you get??? I got a orphan passion with no options from factory. I just today got DRL added by software update to my car so I now have that feature like if it came from factory. I bet you just love going over bumps in your car! I guess the price we pay is a rougher ride but the test drives aren't enough time to notice it.

Only got the comfort package. The Cabrio already come with a few of the upgrades.

Yeah the road work is a little rough on my drive to/from work. Never really noticed much in the truck... but in the smart I try to avoid every pothole I can. I got the tire and rim warrantee because I knew how bad the roads are.

Hello folks, Miami Native/Resident, Bought Smart in Germantown, MD, spent the last month here and will be heading to Raleigh, NC during this next week for the next 7 weeks of work there. Looking forward to meeting some other Smart owners in the area.

Arrived in Raleigh, Haven't a clue where exactly I am in Raleigh but I'm here. Right off Brier Creek Pkwy Zip 27617
Anyone in town install the Cruise Control? I'd love to order it and have it installed by someplace that's done it before. Looking to get the MDC one, looks more factory..
I'll install the intake myself.
