My last car was an ‘03 Civic hybrid. I bought it with 68,000 miles, sold it with 247,000 miles, never had to change the brake pads/shoes. I changed the front rotors but only because they were warped.

I ran my Civic hybrid like this for a while, and it wasn't as much of a hit as you might think. I don't have numbers but I want to say it was less than 10%, maybe as little as 5%. You don't have the...

I could probably do either day as long it's not too early in the morning. Springfield and Worcester are good for me, Albany less so. And I think having an Eco run that everyone drives would be best.

Talk about devaluing the brand. I don't know what's worse, putting that grill on a Scion Iq or a Ford Fusion.

Is there any reason you couldn't just use an alligator clip to attach the charger lead to the other end of the battery?
