Huh, 4k for a 86 miles electric car? For an around town car, that works. Compared to my current vehicle, it'd take about 30k miles to break even. Even with our $.16 per kW/h electricity.

I don’t really follow...you’re not going to find any 86 mile electric car for $4k unless it doesn't come with a battery.

The Fiat 500e. I googled that, and that was the price towards the bottom end of the used models coming off leases at wholesale.

At lots they are $7k-$8k depending on location in the US. Search cars.com.

Get yourself a friend who has access to auctions. You'll find great deals but you must be patient.

There really aren't many combustion trucks out there with 800 mile range. Unless you mean tractors (the truck kind... not the farm kind)?

Depending on how much you want to spend look for something with <150k on it around $6k.
Used Prius' make the best deal hands down. Even the Gen II's are good (up thru 2009) and offer the best value IMO. We have a 2010 gen III w/ 100k on it. With gas prices depresssd their value has really dropped.

Somebody had to say it. I think of this when I think Prius.

Soooooo...about that Alaska/Virgin Arbitration...
Yesterday, Alaska's great idea to outsource de-icing blew up in their faces. IDS didn't have crews/trucks ready...sent airplanes out with "clean" statements and they weren't clean...aircraft waiting 1.5-2hrs at SEA for parking...and flights being held/cancelled into SEA due to the catastrophe.

I heard SJI was just as bad as far as time.

But did SJI tout a new vendor that's "Well versed" in your company's De-Ice Program...and only have 6 trucks for an entire mainline/regional operation?
IDS is hiring though! $20/hr... www.workattheairport.com !

My Skyweezy E170 was overbooked today, so I jumped on the $400 travel voucher grenade to take a later flight on Redwood. I am clearly not the target audience for things like the cheesy hip hop safety briefing music video or the credit card sales pitch that used the word “bestie”. The jet was ok though. I wouldn’t call it noticeably different from a 737 as far as comfort though (@Screaming_Emu is going to be so disappointed in me). Plus side there were like 30 people on a 319.

I never thought the A320 series was a whole lot better from a pax perspective, maybe because I’m always nonrevving and stuck between two big dudes. The jumpseat is another story.
