It doesn’t seem like the kind of thing you’d do twice, does it?

There is a US-produced $20,000 EV with a range of 150 miles. It’s a Nissan Leaf, MSRP $27,400 and still eligible for a $7500 tax credit.

The middle part of the country, from David’s Michigan down through Texas, is in fact a very windy part of the world.

I’m still pissed at my dad, who can certainly afford a tow, driving a car to the dealer service on Harry Hines in Dallas with the front suspension and most of the steering busted from running over a post. The steering radius was so fucked that he couldn’t do a U-turn across three lanes and had to back up in traffic.

Yeah, it having been owned in Texas 18 years ago is no big deal. But if I had a showy car I wouldn’t leave a big-ass window sticker on it unless, as you say, I was scared I’d break the windshield. And that makes me think, has the windshield been broken since 2004? How good of care has really been taken of this thing?

The best part of the windshield is how they haven’t removed the Texas DOT sticker from 2004.

The best Spark is the Spark EV. That is a fun car.

The highest non-typo mileage Leaf for sale in the US right now has 117,670 miles.

From...your dress? How would...lmao

I would guess the warranty reimbursement rates are crap. No reason a shop can’t replace a headlight on a Prius.

Do they not have mosquitos in Britain?

You’re 100% sure it’s not worth just getting a new traction battery with a warranty?

When my wife doesn’t trust it anymore.

Yeah I’m sure a mentally ill Honduran guy has a lot of resources that can be drawn on.

Those are the sidebar ads.

Those people had a different relationship with their own mortality than I do.

Seriously, is it because I’m in my 30s now or have headlights gone fucking insane?

I basically had to do this once, when a mouse ate the crankshaft position sensor wire on my C-Max Energi. It worked fine in EV mode but would immediately stop when the engine came on.

It is good to do good things, like reduce pollution, and bad to do bad things.
