ha! I see your point. I don't mean any offense to anyone who drives a leaf. I just think that they lacked necessary personality to keep my interest. They're boring, basically. And yes, it is simply a matter of taste, not efficiency-wise.

And, I guess my reasoning for my distaste is justified, being that I've actually driven one. I'm not some poser who just says he doesn't like the leaf because I secretly want one or can't afford one or something. I honestly just think they're a bit unambitious. I'm waiting for something breathtaking, Being that my cars are paid for, its cheaper and better for the environment to continue with them, rather than get a new car.

Why did I go to the University of Central Florida's Nissan Leaf Demo?

So I could have an informed opinion about the car.




The "smell me" part of that post was meant to be a joke and had nothing to do with tailpipe emissions or the scent emitted by combustion engines. It was referring to the "see me" part of that line...Or did you think I meant that the station wagon would be invisible, too?
