Sunday
We spent approximately 23 hours today at the Nissan dealer with the Chattiest Extroverted Salespeople in the World (exhausting) but it was worth it cause I drove home a new red Nissan Leaf EV! Un-fricken-believable. It’s sooo nice to drive. Zippy, handles great, nice firm suspension, feels really solid and safe. And it’s fully electric! It’s the SV model, so it has a ~145 mile range (plenty for my purposes), heated seats, heated steering wheel, back-up camera, all the modern bells and whistles. I’ve been driving a 15-yr-old Honda Fit which is a GREAT little car but Dave and I wanted an EV to run around in. The Honda will go to Henry to replace his current hand-me-down car, and his car will go to his in-laws, I think. So it’s good all around. (The Honda has fewer than 80,000 miles and is in great shape so he should get some years out of it.)
Beyond exhausted!
