That's what I'm afraid of. The cost and time involved in procuring parts is going to mean a looooooong wait to get her back on the road.

No mailbox. It was a Mickey Mouse auto emblem. I had matching ones on both the driver and passenger-side front quarter panels. Our family is a bunch of Disney fanatics!

Yeah, she can still be driven. Ready light comes on, and she still zooms, albeit with a little knocking from the sidelight flapping in the wind. Airbags did not deploy. Only true annoyance (other than the accident itself) is having to climb across the passenger seat to get in and out of the...

Driving to work this morning, another driver in the oncoming lane decided to try and turn left in front of me. Despite my best efforts at braking hard and swerving right, I was not able to avoid a collision. Fortunately, there were no injuries, but my Meepster is going to need some TLC. The...

Who has installed roof racks on their iMiev? Ever try hauling anything "exotic"? Say... a 17' 85lb. canoe?!?! :lol:

Hey, all! It's been a long time since I've been on the boards. I'm going to do exactly the same thing I did a year ago and revive an old thread talking about the cold weather. Please bear with me. So, I've had my Meepster for over a year now. July 11 was my anniversary. So far, so good...

Sorry to bring an old thread back from the dead, but I am also experiencing a maddening rattle in the dash. I have discovered the source of my rattle, but am not quite sure what to do about it. The rattle in my iMiEV was coming from the passenger side of the vehicle. Upon inspection, I found...

I just keep thinking of the fuel costs and CO2 I'm saving. Plus, after driving the Meepster for several months, my minivan now feels like a unwieldy tank whenever I'm forced to drive it.

Yep. That's why I bought the mittens. I had a decent pair of gloves, but those just weren't cutting it. So, I bought mittens. However, even the mittens don't help for long after holding on to a freezing steering wheel for any length of time. I bought my mittens at Cabela's and paid a pretty...

Sorry, all. Been busy with the holiday seasons and then the whole family got the flu and work really picked up, yadda yadda yadda! Yes, we experienced some extremely cold (nearly record lows) temperatures in the past few weeks. I was able to continue driving the Meepster through a good deal...

Last night, I got my first chance to drive my Meepster in the snow. We got about 3" last night, and my wife sent me out to pick up pizza for dinner right in the thick of it. The city had not yet gotten around to plowing and salting the ancillary roads I take to the pizza place. So, it was...

Haven't had a chance to try out L3 charging yet. The only DC L3 EVSE near me is at a Whole Foods, and it has been "Out of Order" ever since I bought my MiEV back in July. The store has taped a sign to the machine saying they hope to have it operational soon. Not sure of their definition of...

My dash stats after getting to work on this 20° blustery morning. Started with a full charge. Far cry from the 69 miles that I'd have left after the drive to work three months ago! Is there a thread somewhere on the record for lowest miles/highest bars remaining?

Okay, a few responses and some additional points of information: Unfortunately, the nearest L2 station is roughly four miles in the opposite direction from my commute home. So, not close enough to plug in and walk to work. However, in a worst case scenario where I would never make it home...

Jeez, always the buzzkill, eh?! Just kidding! ;-). The Click Heat packs just seem much more convenient than wiring up a supplemental battery pack or taking 5-10 minutes to heat up a hot water bottle when all you really want to do is get the heck out of dodge! With these packs, I can just click...

Hey, everybody. I was going to post something here, but it got REALLY long winded. So, I created my own thread called "My first winter in my Meepster... so far!"

Hey all. Been awhile since I posted in the iMiEV forums (or even visited the forums). Been preoccupied with various other life distractions. I originally planned to post this under the “PREPARATION FOR COLD SEASONS” thread, but by the time I had gotten to my sixth paragraph, I started feeling...

Tony, your cold weather experience seems to be almost identical to what I am expecting for my first winter with my i-MiEV here in the Chicago suburbs. The only difference between us is that my round-trip commute is exactly double yours, and I DO have to worry about passengers, but only for the...

Very recently, I had my airbag warning light pop up on my dash. One morning last week, I went out to unplug my car and head to work. When I depressed the silver button on top of the EVSE handle, I didn't get that usually "click" feeling that indicates it has unlocked from the socket. I tried...

When you say "defroster", are you referring to the "Defrost" setting on the climate control or the rear-window defroster? I also have a question about the climate control defroster setting specifically. I usually keep my setting on the Feet/Defrost position to help keep the windows clear and...
