Question #1: Any recommendations for a good mechanic nearby? And if you live at 3454 Summitridge, I apologize for our car being parked in front of your house - AAA should be there in awhile to tow it :) We're pretty sure it's the transmission and don't want to put the money into a 15 year old car, so Question #2: Anyone have experience with an electric car? I've only heard good things, so if you have any bad experience it would be nice to know. Will works at the Lovett School and they have charging stations in their parking deck, the tax incentives are nice, and it seems the car payment/gas savings equal out in the end. Negatives anybody?
