Hi Tony, Have you abandoned the spare tire carrier project? I know you have been preoccupied with more important activities but I hope you will find time in the near future to put together the next batch of spare tire carrier kits. I would be happy with getting the necessary parts or the...

My wife and I plan on going.

My purchase was straight purchase without a trade. I mailed the forms around Dec. 15th. I have yet to see another Leaf.

I received an State of Illinois check for $3,725.00 in the mail today (4/18/2012).

I just stop at my Leaf dealer Al Piemonte Nissan in Melrose Park, IL. My sales person Fred Meek said that they have been unable to contact the person who ordered the 2012 Black Leaf that came in with mine on Nov. 30th and they are willing to sell it. If interested call Fred at (708) 343-3800.

I just got a call from Al Piemonte Nissan that my car has arrived.

My estimated delivery changed to Pending also.

Mine changed to week of Dec 10th as well.

My delivery is now listed week of Dec. 7th. I can’t help but to reflect back to 1941 WW 2 which was quit another memorable occasion. I was 12 years old then. My first car was a 1937 Pontiac. I’ve owned many cars from VW bugs to Oldsmobiles & Bucks. At present I have a 2007 Prius with a...
