OMG, yes. I need one of those for sure. No apology required--I love it!

Actually, I thought it might be fun to throw a few ultra right-wing decals on the back. You know, just to confuse people.

Sure, I am content to get my charge on at work... but I've also begun sampling public stations here and there. Last night, just to see if it worked: Today at lunch: :)

I guess I ought to fill you all in on... the rest of the story. We did take that 2013 Leaf in on trade Monday afternoon. I filled the battery via our dealership charger that night, then on Tuesday took it on a long evaluation drive up to NPS and back. Road and weather conditions were less...

Background info: the instrument cluster battery health gauge in the Leaf has 12 segments. The top segment is most important; it does not turn off until the battery is down to 85% of its original capacity. After that, each succeeding light will turn off once another ~ 7% of battery capacity is...

Depending on miles and condition, I'm planning to spend $8500-$9500.

(In case any of you ever consider buying a used Leaf, I include the following helpful information.) A couple posts above, I mentioned scanning a Leaf. What is that all about? Well, somebody out there has made a wonderful app for the prospective Leaf owner--and for the owners...

Of course not, which is why I've already planned out my long game. Once the EV is up and running, why not throw a few solar panels on my roof so I can charge it via the sun? This is difficult to plan right now since I haven't yet seen how driving an EV will alter my electric bill, but my needs...

This is certainly a fair question, and I don't mind you asking. I guess I failed to mention this in my original post, but my plan is not to have the fuel savings pay for the Leaf in full. Yes, that was my mindset with the Metro--and that car paid for itself a few times over--but I see the Leaf...

Purely from a point of technological fascination, I have occasionally entertained the idea of buying an electric car (formally known as a Battery Electric Vehicle). I had a chance to take a Nissan Leaf on an extended test drive about four years ago, and I walked away thinking I could handle...

When I bought my house back in 2003, my mother (who works for a bank in Ohio (where she lives)) helped set up an FHA mortgage for me. She was eager to do this so she could oversee the process and make sure I was treated well. Okay, whatever; everything went smoothly and I had no complaints...

Thank you for posting that diagram. I like that it lists the (maximum?) amperage ratings for each style, as I intend to install a 50A outlet. Thanks for pointing out that your 6-50 is only used by your welder. Full disclosure: I need to install a 220v outlet so I will be able to plug in a...

Background: I want to install a 220v outlet in my garage. Never having had a 220v oulet in my garage, I never put much thought into the logistics of the operation... until now. I didn't know I have choices as far as the plug style is concerned. For what I want to do, my internet research...

:rofl: While I love the sentiment of this post, amateur radio Rule #1 is that NO on-air conversation can involve pecuniary (financial) interest. Sadly, this means I cannot take a vehicle order via the radio.

Yes, I've been selling here at Doug Smith in American Fork for 21 years now. I have the ability to sell anything on our lot--Ram, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Subaru, Kia plus anything used. I am currently in the process of helping two other RME members purchase new vehicles. Feel free to PM me and...

Advantages of the Series II 3800 V6: - extremely compact - relatively efficient - track record of good overall reliability - blown engine makes decent power (240 HP, 280 tq) stock - blown engine known for its stout internal hardware and ability to handle much more power - blown engine makes...

The Sidewinder is a great shifter. I recently installed one in my Grand Prix, and I absolutely love it.

If we're bringing out our torque monsters for a sunny Sunday cruise, perhaps I can join in the fun. I am not familiar with either of those roads.

When I tailgunned Steel Bender on Tuesday, my leader (Gil Meacham) suggested everybody who wasn't a 4dr take the left 'bypass' rather than The Fall. He and I looked at it, and quickly decided where the passenger tires should go... and then he had me spot him down it in his LJ. He never lifted...

Hmm. There were four of us down here, and everybody we heard via the Lake Mountain repeater had a choppy signal. We could hear folks via the Moab area repeaters just fine, though. Weird. Glad a few of you guys were still able to chat at the usual time on the Farnsworth machine.
