Stop #1: First Annual Nissan Leaf St. Louis Spring Rally

STARTING MILEAGE:  12119





We arrived at Bommarito Nissan at around 9:05 am.  There were already 2 other customer's Leaf's ready for the fun!





 We signed in, received Raffle tickets, and chatted a bit.  (One ticket per passenger  - so I go three!)  Soon, DONUTS and BREAKFAST sandwiches from the local Mom n Pop donut store (Kelly's Donuts) arrived.  YUM!!

We ran into our salesman - Dustin Olson. Told him how much we love our Leaf!!
We soon got T-shirts.  (No kid sizes.  Adult M to XXL.)  They are nice quality with the graphic that matches the store banner.  (Side note:  No year, just the date - so when I wear it a few years down the road it won't look so dated . . . )  
It was fun to chat with the other Leaf Owners. We eventually decided to head on out to the next stop.  I didn't get a shot, but it was fun to ride in a line of Leaf's!!  We were all headed to Stop #2:  Lou Fusz Nissan. 
And we were off!
