New smart car owner looking for other owners

Hi all! I just recently became owner of a beautiful 2015 fortwo smart car and I was wondering if there are any other smart car owners in the area! I'd like to connect and maybe make friends!

Just got the radiator replaced and soon she will be my daily drive car!

Hi all, I'm new to smart car owning and have some questions

I have a 2015 fortwo pure coupe, I believe it's the 451 style but I'm unsure. It was gifted to me. I recently got the radiator replaced (the old one had gotten bent) and the mechanic put the blue coolant in it. However he did not do any 'burping'. How important is that/is that a necessity? He also mentioned I might have to either get a new condenser (there was no visible damage to it) or refill it with Freon before trying to run the AC because he had to move it to replace the radiator.

I did take it for a drive around town for maybe 20 minutes after the replacement. My car does not have a temperature gauge in it, how will I know if it's overheating? And are there any aftermarket ones you'd recommend?

There is also the traction control light that pops up when you hit about 10-15mph, should I be really worried about this? It's the only light that pops up on the dash. The code for it is steering angle sensor and/or front speed sensor right circuit output.

Thanks for taking the time to read and answer my questions! I'm hoping to have this car for many years. I think it's just the cutest thing and it's perfect for me (I'm only 4ft 10, so it's hard to find a car I don't need to sit on a cushion to see over the dash)
