What kind of gas mileage are you seeing? Can you use the HOV lane with it?

I bet though it’s more of chick magnet than a Bimmer.

LOL, that’s why I don’t have a prius…need to be able to make trips to the dump and haul stuff home from HD and Lowes :D[/quote]

Now there’s a market opportunity — an electric truck. Those trips to the dump/home depot/lowe’s are usually pretty short. Also the grocery store/dropping kids off/etc… It could be like one of those little box vans you see in Asia, big enough to haul a lot of crap but not so big that you can’t park it. Like A Nissan Leaf but with maybe half the range and twice the hauling capacity.

I’ll bet an Asian automaker is already working on that for urban US markets…[/quote]

A domestic car maker actually has a utility truck. It’s functional but ugly… (fugly).

Not entirely illogical. Most people do not think in terms of long term financial wealth… they want to get by and enjoy life now. They realize they will never be ‘rich,’ but want a taste of what they perceive as ‘the good life.’ Is that really so terrible? I think not. Perhaps they are happier than the miser who amasses wealth and drives a POS[/quote]

In the same vein, you can rent a million-dollar house for $3,500 and up.

That’s a bargain compared to the purchase of a similarly priced house. No maintenance to worry about and the gardening and pool service is included.

You can enjoy it while the rents are low. Maybe rent for a 5 to 6-year period when your kids are in high school.
