Last Saturday morning my wife was hit in the left rear bumper and quarter panel. When I arrived and saw the damage to the Ford F-150 right front bumper and quarter panel I knew that there could be more Leaf damage than it looked. The good news is that no one was hurt. I need advice from those...

Now that we have owned our new Tesla for One whole week, we find that my Wife still prefers to use the Leaf as her daily commute vehicle. It is smaller and therefore easier to maneuver in the parking garage at work, plus it would cause major heartache if someone scraped the side of her brand...

I have been notified that the Power Company will have a neighborhood power outage overnight. I sleep with a CPAP machine and need to power it. I have a car 12v inverter that I have used on overnight driving so I can sleep when my wife is driving. I want to plug this into the Leaf, then use an...

Last night my wife and I saw the movie "Transcendence" at the theater. The Leaf was behind the actors during one scene before the characters drove off in it. After the movie we drove away and stopped at a traffic light with another Leaf next to us in another lane, looked like they were just...
