daily driver-1999 bmw 328i 62,000 miles
View attachment 53309
I was driving an almost new 2011 Nissan Maxima with 8K miles until I totaled it today. Ugh!!! What a sucky day. Gonna be sore tomorrow...
We just picked up this bad boy yesterday. All electric Nissan Leaf. Now I drive like I brew!
Seriously, two months ago I had no interest in hybrids or electrics. Full disclosure, we also have gas guzzlers, but this will be the daily commuter.
You have loan gap coverage, right?

We've put on 240 miles and we are amazed. It's silent and at 40 to 50 miles per day costs is about 30 cents in electricity (we pay ~0.8c kwh).
Cool things design elements like turning on the climate control from your iPhone (or android I assume). Feels less cramped than my 530i (talk roof, big windows, airy feel). It's crammed with technology and driving is like a game... If you drive "efficiently" a tree grows on your dash panel. Yes, hokey, but you get competitive about it! My wife (an admitted lead foot) says that she's now an electricity hoarder!
Did I mention that it's frickin silent on the road?
We did a lease, $750 down, $250/mo 24k miles over 2 years (including taxes) on the SL model (back up cam, quick charger, solar panel). I seriously want to sell the 530i and get another one (keep the minivan for family stuff). It's cheaper to lease this leaf than keep my paid for rig.
Dude! That is a sweet set up!
Where do u live?
No such thing as fast enough. I have a 2007 Mustang GT with a couple goodies but nothing serious. New exhaust, suspension, cold air intake and a custom tune. Tough to balance the disposable income between hobbies...

My parents have a 2011 Outback with the smaller 4cyl and CVT transmission. It drives great and she gets around 35-40mpg. It's all gravel roads around their place and it handles them better than their '12 wrangler rubicon. Excellent in the snow as well.
