Nice. Where did you get them?

Julie, I agree, they need to step up their advertising. I know the dealer here in San Antonio has about 2 dozen cars on the lot and I haven't noticed too many of them moving. Also, they seem to lose a lot of repeat customers because of the cost of…

I changed my bulbs. Not too hard. Just found out though, that you need to use the same kind of bulb as the OEM. I put the bright whites in mine and they both blew last night as I was driving. Luckily I had my fog lights on. Anyway, I took it to the…

Have you tried to get anything back from Breathless for their obviuosly faulty exhaust?

No, I really do love my smart. I thought at first it was the tranny not ready correctly and preventing it from cranking. But after moving the shifter around without success I gave up and went inside. After about an hour or so it cranked right up. I…

Scott, Lack of cranking amps is a topic... may be poor battery connections or one of those 40ah batteries that need upgrading in the US for the 60ah. The USA shifter problem is an American problem... we (rest of the world) don't get the P D shifte…

Ian, Mine wouldn't even crank. I tried it in P and N with no luck. All the smart guy at the dealership said to call for roadside assistance....he didn't have a clue. But it seems to run fine now. About 6 months ago I caught the bad shifter bug and…
