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…

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…

Anyone who says these vehicles are good for only cross-town traffic, is very SADLY mistaken. We have turned heads all around this great country, and have indee…

After hearing how "someone should have contacted you" countless times and no actual resolution, I'm getting ready to email Paul the CEO/President of PLX to see if HE can give me some sort of resolution for how his company has acted these past 40 days.
1. Web site falsely claims to have a $300 product "in stock" and "available now"
2. Company did not contact my husband after his purchase to notify him that there was a distribution issue overseas and that the product was back ordered
3. Company di…

So, yet again I have been lied to by the PLX.com company. The supervisor promised me OVERNIGHT SHIPPING (and that it would be 'taken care of'U & a sales rep promised me a phone call when my item shipped. Did either of those two simple things happen, NOPE! So now I'm waiting for this package to arrive via Priority shipping, so who knows when it will arrive? The company NEVER updated there web site in regards to the availability of the $300 product. And the best Tim could do was offer to refun…

*Web site states in multiple locations that the item is available now and in stock, when in fact they KNOW it is backordered and that they are having problems with the overseas distributer
*Company did NOT contact us to inform us the "available now" product was backordered.
*Comany did NOT respond to my husbands emails in regards to the status of the item
*Company gives the run around when you contact them.
*Company has my $300 and I have no product over 30 days later…

We just downsized and bought a Winnebago Via class A motor home. It is 26 feet long and will tow our Smart Car with no problems. We are looking for a dealer that has installed the base plate (either Blue-Ox or Roadmaster as they both have baseplates for Smart) on a Smart Car before. We are in Tucson , Arizona and it seems no one here has done a base plate on a Smart before. Also what are the steps to take in getting Smart ready to tow? Shift into neutral and disconnect the battery? Is that all?…

Is anyone else having these problems?
Tires - I recently had to replace my front tires at 20,000 miles due to cupping and excess wear on the inside. I had a four wheel alignnment performed ($99.95!?) which showed the front end only slightly out on one side, not nearly enough to have caused the wear. Could this be a design or specification problem?
Roof - The plastic roof panel has developed a "checking" problem all over. These are little cracks throughout the panel that weren't there for the f…

I pull into a gas station, tell the man to fill it up, he says "can you unlock the gas door for me"? I reply "it's not locked" then he says "well then it's stuck" I get out to see what the problem is, and it opens with ease. Next fill up same thing happens, "can you unlock your gas door"? "IT DONT LOCK!!" I get out of the car, and again it opens with ease.
Am I the only one who didn't know the gas door is locked as long as the car doors are locked? lol
When I opened my door (unlocking it) to s…

I have come up with a few ideas for smart related T-shirts. Does anyone know the best way to get them from idea to T-shirt? One uses the smart logo so there may be copyright issues. Thoughts on who best to talk to about use of the logo?
Thanks in advance for your input.
