Thanks for sharing this story. There's always a way to make things happen if the right people get involved, as they did in your case. Congratulations on your new car and kudos to the folks who helped get it to you.

Welcome to maui...Now you are making Maui Smart!! Congrats on the Smart... Let get together one weekend! Would love to see your smart. Tell me who did all your mods? Did SmartMadness do them? What body kit are you running? Post some pictures.

I have seen now now 4 smarts on Maui.. one Cabrio same color as mine in Lahaina.. Also saw a yellow one the other day coming into Lahaina, Now your white one and mine.. Now all we need is a Smart dealer.

Just FYI, Bobs Car Care in the Lahaina emeraled plaza has done its first 10,000 mile service on the other blue smart here in Lahaina. Its a 2008 I met the guy a few weekend ago I will post pictures..

Aloha, Tim

Well, The time final came were I ran into another smart owner here on Maui.. Mark, super nice guy and he drives a smart the same color as mine.. After following me down Front steet in Lahaina we pulled over next to the Pioneer Inn and had a chat. Mark was admiring my tires and rims and loved the S-mann body kit.. I just installed this a few weeks ago. Also like my dual tip exhaust.. It was great to meet Mark with his Cabrio Smart.. Now that I know there are a few of us out there lets get all our smarts together one weekend??? Let me know.

Aloha, Tim
