own an electric car

Yeah the whole Phoenix thing probably isn’t going to happen!! We’ve got other things we have to do with our money. We still have a LOT of work to do on the loft, and we have trips we want to take & spending that much on a car is probably going to be out of the question. While we still hope to have an electric car someday it probably won’t be this one. The 2010 Prius should be coming out really soon and we are going to look at upgrading. We have a Scion XA right now which gets pretty good mileage but not as good as the Prius. So while the electric car is still in the distant future the Prius will be a good ‘for now’ compromise ;)

We are on the wait list for information about the Phoenix SUV when it comes out. Yeah its a pretty expensive car but we are going to start saving up for it. We used to have $700 a month going to car payments, so we figured since we have no car payments anymore (paid off one & sold the other) we would start to put that $600 into savings for this car when it is available. Hopefully something cheaper will come out…or this one will be cheaper once its actually available…We will just have to wait and see!

Ever since we watched “Who Killed the Electric Car” this is all we have wanted!! Well not ALL but its right up there with solar panels!! ;)

Joe found something today that was talking about a car that should be in America next year that would be around $18,000. WAY more reasonable than the $100,000 price tag on the Tessla. Which, trust me, if we could afford it…we would already have one…but who in the world (other than George Clooney) can afford that!?!
