What can I say, the best car I've owned. And they are replacing the battery under warranty, so I'll get another several years or more to enjoy it. While the price of gas soars past $5 a gallon, the little Nissan Leaf, with its 80kw electric engine and 30kw battery, costs about $1 to charge at home overnight. It is the little things that make life so interesting. Yesterday we threw an end of the year pool party at the clubhouse and, literally, no kids came. None. Not even the ones that replied they were coming. It was quite sad and disappointing. Would have been a disaster, except for family. Mommy and Ollie came, then Nana, then cousin Jodi. We took it back to my house and enjoyed NY pizza reheated in the oven and salad from a bag Jody brought, two pieces leftover to bring home to Guy. We are blessed, even when bad things happen, we are blessed.
