TGIF: "You know you are a Leaf driver when..."

EvaLeaf · Mar 15, 2013

Figured its time for some Friday fun.

How do you know you are a Leaf driver?

I'll start:

You know you are a Leaf driver when...you find yourself muttering "gas guzzler" under your breath as you pass a Prius on the freeway.

When I got my Leaf, I considered changing the plate on my Prius to be GAS GZLR :lol:

...you take your car in for the annual safety inspection and everyone in the garage gathers around the car with the hood up and the charge port open trying to figure out what they are looking at in there. :lol: (This happened today...)

When you're wife asks you to go to the store and you happily agree, then you end up cruising around for 30 minutes extra listening to 80s on 8.

When your bosses that drive Land Cruisers, Mercedes, and BMW's all want a ride in your car.

... the 10th person in a row asks what kind of mileage you get, and then looks at you blankly when you give a number in miles per kwh. :lol:

...when you only stop at gas stations to use the bathroom (ewww - never!). :lol:

When you have been asked by ICEV drivers "why do you drive an electric car? "so many times, you have to restrain yourself from replying with what you'd really like to say:

Because I'm not an idiot!

When you drive to the mailbox instead of walking, because you know it won't harm your car OR the planet.

the sound of engines idling on a quiet street pisses you off.

P71VIC · Mar 15, 2013

are so spoiled by smooth acceleration and no engine vibration that any time you ride or drive in even the most luxurious new and properly tuned ICE you feel like you are in some quaint fire breathing rattle trap.

...when you receive an automated email from the Nissan dealership reminding you of your three-month maintenance appointment. And when you call to confirm why?, you are informed that it is for your regularly scheduled oil change.

--True Story--

When for a long drive in the winter, you issue blankets to your passengers.

abasile · Mar 15, 2013

...when your whole family, kids included, say "eww" or "yuck" at the smell of exhaust from another car in the parking lot.

...when passing a highway patrol officer causes no stress response since you're already at or below the speed limit to extend range.

MrFish · Mar 15, 2013

......when you feel out of touch for not knowing how much a gallon gas costs......what is the cost of regular these days? I honestly don't know.

Kataphn · Mar 15, 2013

You breeze by in the car pool lane past all the other cars waiting at the freeway on ramp red signal :mrgreen:

Nubo · Mar 16, 2013

When your "price at the pump" stays the same, month after month.... after month....

DaveinOlyWA · Mar 16, 2013

You know you drive a LEAF when for the first time in your life, you have the volume set to 2½ AND you can still hear the music

cgaydos · Mar 16, 2013

You know you drive TWO Leafs when ...

You have to remind the teenagers not to tangle up the two charging cords in the garage.
