    when Nissan announced the first nationwide showing of their electric car, I was one who towed my spouse to the local mall to see it in person.

    Atlanta auto show...

    after driving my Leaf for a few months, decided to check out the local auto show. What a disappointment. All the ICE cars look so dated.
