After having traveled over 6,000 miles on these tires, I figured it was time for me to put up my 2 cents worth about them so that others could benefit from my experience in case they were considering purchasing a set. A quick note before we begin: I bought these tires as a LRR option with a...

Brand new in opened packaging, a Nissan Leaf branded Flip camcorder. Comes complete with new AA batteries and a mini-tripod. I received this item a few years back as payment for helping out with a LEAF ownership blog, but after more than 3 years of having it sit in the glovebox just in case I...

OK, so the title is actually a little dated.. Ginger officially turned 5 last month (November), but she didn't come home with us until a couple of months later (January) so I figured we'd split the difference. Like any 5 year old girl, Ginger got herself a new pair of shoes as well as a bit of...

So "Ginger" is finally turning 4 years old this week. Actually, I suppose she really turned 4 back in December according to her production date, but LEAF #225 was brought home for the first time 4 years ago this week. During that intervening time, she's covered almost 34,000 trouble-free miles...

Though I've considered this solution before, it wasn't until I saw this little video that I thought how great of a solution this might be for our LEAF window woes in the chilly (and humid) northwest. This would seem to be the perfect solution for a full-window defroster (OK, maybe tricky to do...

I've been sitting quietly on this one for a while now, but just received official word that we've kicked off the program so thought I'd share the news: Metro Transit has started offering LEAFs as an option for employer-hosted "Metropools" (aka- vanpools). Available only at select (read=...

So I finally caved and scheduled an appointment with a dyno for last Friday.. Though I have to admit to being a bit nervous about the whole process (I've watched a few too many dyno failure videos), the whole thing turned out to be pretty fun. Showing up at the shop "early" in the morning...

So here's a new one I haven't read about elsewhere on the forum.. I stepped out into the garage this morning to find my Blink charger mildly chirping away and giving a "charge fault" message on the screen. Now I would chalk this up as a hiccup of the Blink unit and be on my merry way...

With the im-"pending" arrival of our Leaf, my girlfriend and I headed down to our credit union, BECU, yesterday to see about getting pre-approved for financing during their special car event. Though the rate looked good at 2.99%, we were incredibly surprised to discover that BECU does not yet...

So kind of a silly question, but is there any car out there that has an ass end that looks like the Leaf? While driving south on I-5 this afternoon I spotted a hatchback that had the same distinctive LED taillight arrangement of the Leaf, but I couldn't catch up enough to take a look at the...

I seem to recall this having come up as a question in this forum and it appears we might now have an answer: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/alternative/1009_2011_nissan_leaf_second_opinion/index.html Not sure if this is a definitive answer (wouldn't be the first time an all-knowing...
