the tool box full of wrenches hitting the pavement is exactly it! my service (Smart) guy said there are no shocks in front - just struts. and they said they checked everything possible and of course, couldn't find anything wrong.
i think i'll repost this as a new 'nuts and bolts' entry and see if anyone offers up anything new...

I've had my 2008 Passion for over a year. But all last winter (Seattle) it was in a garage at night. A few weeks ago (I park outside now) I got in to drive to work, it was 40 degrees out, i hit a bump, and thought that the front end had just FALLEN OFF!
I actually pulled over to get out and look. Felt like an idiot.
Now I'm really only noticing it a) when it's cold, b) first part of a drive (it dissipates after awhile).
If it keeps up, I HAVE to have the Service department do something. It's ridiculously loud and unnerving. The day I first took it in to the shop, I was seriously questioning whether I should be driving it or not. Every bump was causing the front end grinding noise.

Hello Kim. Just read your posting from last January on the front end noise. I'm having the exact same problem. Although I've had my Smart since over a year ago - this is the first I've noticed the noise. And I feel it's something to do with the cold.
Any resolution?

Regarding your poll. I hand wash my car in warm weather and utilize carwashes in very cold weather.

Not sure if you are aware of this or not, but the last selection in your poll indicates less than 25 instead of greater than 25.
Be careful out there,
Pops

Found the smart under the snow...

Well I finally dug "Squirt" out from under the snow. The first major snowstorm she was tucked away in the garage. During the last snowstorm she got caught outside. I shoveled around her yesterday and started cleaning her off today. When I finally got the snow off the windshield I noticed the inspection sticker said January... just great. I had to go out so I took the Subaru. When I came out of the store someone had parked a yellow 2008 smart parked right in front of me. I just hate when Squirt m… Continue

Tax deduction???

Since it is tax time, and I bought my Smart in 2009, I was wondering if anyone knows of a tax deduction they have received since purchasing their Smart. I remember something early in 2009 about the government giving a tax rebate/deduction (of some sort) to vehicles that are good on gas consumption. Well, my little Smart has been averaging approximately 59-61 mpg. Yes, you read that right. I am not talking about the cash for clunker program that has since been gone for a long time. If anyone has… Continue
