I'm in North Carolina but I actually bought my car in New Jersey since the regional deals were literally thousands of dollars better there. I flew up, the salesman drove me to the dealership from the airport, and I drove my new car back down.
That is badass!
I bet that was an more enjoyable and satisfying drive than normal (tolls, traffic) back down 95.
Yeah, actually, I guess it's a badass move that I didn't even consider badass at the time (I considered it a requirement to get the car, since I originally wasn't even in the market for a brand new one and felt like it was a huge purchase).
Honestly it was a GREAT ride, since I had been driving an '02 grand prix on its last legs and it felt like I was navigating a spaceship. I could pause the freaking radio. The AC worked. I got to play the "get the best mileage you can" game while being able to see it in real time. I really milked that purchase for maximum pleasure... at least, for the first year! Now it's just a car again and doesn't feel nearly as special.
OP, one of the VERY BEST and underrated things about getting a hybrid electric or full-electric vehicle is fewer trips to the gas station! This ended up being the most surprising awesome thing about my new car. I didn't realize how much it would improve my life to not stop to buy gas every 1-2 weeks.
