    I’m shaking in my boots. Another non answer. Anyone else want to banter instead of answering my question?? Look at all the replies in this thread, not a single one can be taken as being helpful. See ya!!

    Your other car (Actual or Possibility)

    Other car is a new 2013 Nissan Leaf. Electron power baby! Rock solid car, ultra quiet, wife loves it. Different driving experience for sure. Before the Leaf, we had a Jetta TDI. Put 207k on her, babied that car with a lot of special upgrades. Loved the mileage and the torque of those...
