    Remember those growling twist throttles for bikes we had as kids? Maybe something like that mounted over the side mirrors :D

    Wet Okole Seat Cover Installation DIY

    On vacation in Oahu's North Shore right now 8-) so I will have to wait til I get home in another week to figure out how to do the tuck-in, unless someone wants to beat me to it. I'll update the OP then. Mahalo!

    Wet Okole Seat Cover Installation DIY

    After thinking about this for awhile, it dawned on me that perhaps the hook isn't really meant to hook onto the bar, but by pulling the strap a bit further and around the bar, it might be possible to hook it to its own elastic strap. With the limited space it might be a PITA, but as some have so...

    Wet Okole Seat Cover Installation DIY

    I thought about unbolting the seats, but with the seat airbag connections right there, I didn't risk it. From what I understand, if it comes unplugged with the battery still connected, it throws an error code that can only be cleared at the dealer. If someone knows more about this, please chime in.

    Seattle Leaf Dealers review

    Puyallup isn't really Seattle, but I thought I would share. Puyallup Nissan gave me, and continues to offer me outstanding service. I've dropped in unannounced several times since I took delivery, and they have always taken the time to treat me well. Mike Sosa is the internet manager there, a...

    Window Tinting

    I went with 20%. The police in this area don't seem too concerned unless they can't see in with a flashlight, and it's really only the limo dark (5-10%) tints that do that. My mileage my vary, of course, but I'll take my chances.

    Wet Okole Seat Cover Installation DIY

    It was a pleasure meeting and talking to you! I hope to see you again at some of the other local Leaf events. I really dug your two-tone paint job. The Leaf might not be fast, but yours looks furious! @Gonewild - These covers are in the $500-600 range for front and back seats, depending on if...

    Wet Okole Seat Cover Installation DIY

    There has been some discussion about installing your new Wet Okole covers, so I thought I would share my experience. If you have questions, or a better way, feel free to share! My covers arrived in a big cardboard box, with notation not to use a blade to open the box, as you might accidently...

    Wet Okole Seat Cover Group Buy **COMPLETED**

    Charcoal with light gray piping, and the 0 Emissions logo in blue. I haven't yet tackled hardwiring the heaters in, going to use the 12v accessory plug for a bit, since I'll need a new control module (the supplied one is also the 3-level switch, which I will want to integrate), and some new...

    Wet Okole Seat Cover Group Buy **COMPLETED**

    Got mine yesterday, and just finished putting in the front pair. They fit really well, and I took pics as I installed them, so I will endeavor to have a DIY thread up by tomorrow. The heaters came pre-installed in the front seats, so a quick check by running your hand under the cover to make...

    Water-spotting on Paint

    I know my car (according to CS for what thats worth) was not a pollen car, but it did sit in LB for 2+ months. I'm going to take some of the mentioned advice and wash/clay bar/wax as soon as I can find some of that wax. I'll poke around the net for some tonight. I found a small scuff on the hood...

    Water-spotting on Paint

    I had the same problem today. It really shows on my black paint. I was thinking it might be the soap? What do you guys use for a spot-free finish? Also at O'Reilly's I saw a turtle wax product called, "the Black Box". Apparently formulated for black paint jobs. Normally I use Mothers, or...

    Network testing: Blink Network: Connection Failed

    A couple times my Blink seemed to lose its wifi connection, and the quick fix was to push the "WPS" (Wifi protected setup) button on my router, then run the network tests again. For whatever reason the Blink decides to play nice again. Worth a try if you have that option.

    When does a new car stop being a new car?

    For me, I consider the car not new anymore when I get my first door ding ;)

    West Coast LEAF Relay/Caravan Late Summer '11

    sounds like a great idea! I would happily volunteer to carry the baton in the South Puget Sound area, say Seattle to Tacoma or thereabouts. I see there is a Kent to Olympia run on the map that might be perfect, since I'm in Kent. Fun!
