If I didn’t have the Miata, I’d have knocked and made an offer. Thought about it anyway. A wash, vacuum, and oil change, and get it back on the road to someone who would actually drive it.

Also this beetle. PATINA

Anyway, I’m thinking about buying a used Leaf. Have to check for car seat fit, but the money works. My 2016 Civic, bought for 18ish, is worth only a grand or two less than a 2016 leaf, originally 40k or so. It would get me to work and back, and handle around town errands. Anything else, we got my wife’s pilot, the 06 tundra, or the Miata. We’re kinda ideally situated to not deal with the range anxiety of an older EV with only 100 or so miles of range. Thoughts, Oppo?
