I do feel a bit of relief after it looks like there were more protests Nationwide than individuals at the Birthday Parade. But with all the termoil; we finally found the right car at the right price. Honda CRV-Hybrid. We have driven it 400 miles and it took 10 gallons last night.
This is intended to be our "forever" car. We bought our Pilot new in 2005 and it's still going strong with 200,000 miles. It should make a good utility vehicle now. We don't plan to be driving in our 90s so we should be good. My sister used the Pilot while she was here and wanted to buy. That was a firm no.
Still figuring out all the bells and whistles. We absolutely cannot get accustomed to the electric parking brake. Just push a button? Rod likes the individual climate control. He likes it about 5° lower than I do. It feels really weird going down the freeway with the cruise control on and having it slow down automatically if someone cuts in front. All in all we're super happy with it so far. It's a really smooth ride.
Best part of driving a Leaf? Being able to laugh at gas prices. Second best thing about it? It's NOT A TESLA.
There's always something for which to be grateful, right? I have several friends with Tesla Regret. I have a friend in Reno who has solar on her house so she actually drives her Smart Car for free.
