I have to take a break from my Halloween fever (I'm so far behind...what does it matter?)
The home inspector came this morning for my Nissan Leaf charging station. Yes....charging station. I'm going NO TAILPIPE people! All in, all electric. I'm so excited I I can't stand myself.
I fretted for days over this inspection. We have a 75 year old house, smack dab in the middle of the snow belt. (we have won the 'golden snowball' trophy for the past decade, I think, here in CNY) There is just no way a cutting edge car could be plopped down right here. Well....it can....and it will!
It's the worst possible time to spend money on a car. I know. We'll have to do a few upgrades to get the house ready for the station. I know. We will only have one car for long trips. I know.
But as I said to my wife this morning, "This is like an aquarian's wet dream!"
• A new car would thrill my jug bearing brother, James Dean (who shares my exact birthday).
• The cutting edge invention would have fellow aquarian Thomas Edison telling Watson to lift the hood to see inside.
• The sense of "freedom" from the pump from aquarian president, Abraham Lincoln
• The feel-good-for-the-environment whimsy from my January Aqua-sister Ellen Degeneres.(and birthday twin of my wife)
• And you can't leave out one of my favorite aquarians, Oprah, "You get a car...you get a car....YOU get a car!"
And while I've secretly been dreading that this purchase might be a divorce between me and my wife, she manage to blog about me this morning: HERE
And since she's the writer in the family...she did a much better job then I ever have on my blog. :)
Viva La Revolución
So excited for you guys! The Leaf is a great little car. And if you feel like trekking to NYC this weekend, "Revenge of the Electric Car" opens tomorrow- Nissan and the Leaf are in starring roles.
ReplyDeleteIf you need any help or have any questions along the way, I'm happy to help, or hook you up with the right folks. EVs are an incredible community-oriented technology. :)
Hey Chels...how the heck are you? I'm sooo very excited about this. I've had my reservation since 7/10 and waiting and waiting. I was beginning to think they would never hit the east coast :)Now I just have to find a way to pay for it! LOL Can't wait to see that movie. I'll certainly check it out. Thanks for reading.
