Good News! I work at Hallmark VW (if anyone needs a Volkswagen to go along with their smart come give me a yell!) which is next door to Mercedes of Nashville and when I came into work this morning there was a truck unloading smart cars! Looks like…

I sure hope so. I'm investigating and will be writing/communicating with MB this weekend. I'm bummed!

EEEEEK! Nashville Smart Center Closing!

I learned this week that the dealership I purchased my beloved Huey at is closing, leaving no authorized dealer in the city and ditto no service center. I'm wondering what recourse I have. I had a flat tire today and got a free Smart Road Service tow to the dealer. Granted, it took 3 hours to consumate, but at least there was a place to tow it to! Anyone else dealing with this? What are your options? Thanks in advance,ScottSee More

Profile Information

I've been a smart owner since: August 22, 2009

Location: Nashville, TN

My favorite things about smart: style, economy, fun

About Me: I'm a teacher and a learner and keep track of a lot of that at scottmerrick.net

My smart's name: Baby Huey

Lovin' my Smart Car!

My son and I ride into school every morning and enjoy our "Man Time" in Huey, whose full name is Baby Huey. Our most usual soundtrack of choice is one or another of ACDC's classic CDs, though the past couple days we've been listening to and critiquing Chickenfoot, Sammy Hagar's latest venture. I blogged our purchase at scottmerrick.net right after its completion, and I'll probably keep expanding on that post over time.

I'm glad to find this ning and it will definitely be one that I'll check into frequently, along with Classroom2.0, SLeducationVideos, and several others I include in my personal/professional learning network.

I have to admit I ran right over to cafepress.com and made a bumper sticker which works well on Huey's rear bumper, blending in with a subtle 3D look and making a simple statement that is often rewarded with smiles on the faces of drivers in that cute little rear-view mirrer. Here's it, and a link to it. You can make your own or pick up one from my place, or just smile yourself!

I honked three times with that Roadrunner beep (thinking about a lunkin' airhorn customization, wdn't that be cool!) and he waved, perhaps more shocked than we were.
