Flat tire, tried to fix with the included "fix a flat," didn't work. Possibly blew a fuse in the process. Used extended warrenty to have it towed to the dealer, to be fixed on Monday.

Glenn took Gerbil in for its 1yr/10,000mi check up/oil change. $71 @ dealer. (had no choice, no other place could take a Smart car) Also, got the KIWI drive green put in reference 34.5 calibrated to +65%, +70% was a little too high.

Got car back after dropping $375 for a new rim. Turns out warrenty didn't cover it because the tire was holding air and not damaged after all. Not happy

bent rim from not seeing a culvert turning into a gas station at night. Turns out both rim & tire are compromised. Extended warrenty covered both! (Correction... NOT COVERED!!!) have to pay for new rim. Crack in rim, no tire damage other than discoloration.
