Damn, I love the internet. Arrived early for a flight to Nashville to drive the Leaf, which was great, but this is better....found myself with lots of time to surf. So! I found a low mileage (25-30k) JDM KLZE on ebay, within an hour from my hometown. Bought it... while sittin' in the airport.

Yeah, bored-ebay surfing can be really dangerous.

Not as dangerous as drunk surfing. (That's how my dad wound up with a Fulvia 1.3 HF - which didn't turn out to be a bad purchase, but still.)

I kinda wish I could drive the leaf before it comes out since they are gonna cover the city with charging stations.

It was pretty impressive, first of any kind of EV vehicle that I've driven that wasn't weird, whether intentionally or not. Not a novelty vehicle, it was a totally functioning car.

True story. That's how I ended up with a giant shipping bill from Japan for parts for my speed3....

I am sure this is how 100% of all alpaca farmers get started.

Too bad it wasn't a 0 time Lycoming IO-360. Know what one of those is worth?

I think the worst thing I ever drunk bought on ebay was a garmin. Bored bought...a ford 8.8 rear end with ford racing gears and lsd. Complete from hub to hub. Its going in my incomplete 93 mustang solo car.
