1. My driveway enters the State Highway in the middle of 2 curves. Not a problem 25 years ago but increased traffic and speed make it tricky to enter the highway safely. At night I can see the lights and it's OK. In the daylight it's cross your fingers and hope for the best. Enter the Nissan Leaf. Shut off the stereo, climate control, and crack open the windows and I can hear well beyond my sight limitations. This is an absolute safety feature in my case.
2. I needed to haul a tall bookcase so I strapped the open hatch down and off I went. I came to my first stop and realized - no exhaust smell coming through the open hatch, cool! Old thinking dies hard. Give my an operable window in the hatch like the old Mercury Monterey of the 60's. Maybe I can keep the A/C off longer this summer and enjoy more of the outside - inside, yes?
