+ my car's in for its 9 year (112,500 mile) service

- it's already 14:00 and they haven't started it yet

+ they loaned me an all-electric Nissan Leaf (fabulously quiet and awesome acceleration)

- the Nissan Leaf looks like it was designed by a drunken bum with a headache

looks very much like the same designer of the GD and the new Corrolla

Rusty, I didn't know you designed cars?   

[rustynutz]

Hey! I only had a couple of drinks...

Does it have a slot for the shilling? 

[Surferdude]

No. Just a reaally long cord.

How much did they "charge" for that .. Seems a very unusual loaner?? At least you won't have to pay for fuel

They're now predominantly a Nissan dealership and that loaner was (as usual) free to me

Now you know why I am so enthusiastic about my Hybrid .. Imagine what a 2.5 Petrol + Electic boost feels like (especially at passing speeds)
