    So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

    Probably would be at least 3½ hours. At my age I need more stops than the car.

    So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

    Wow. Looked it up on wikipedia . What a shocker, considering what Tesla was building at the time. Not exactly a mobility scooter but..... I entered a trip with settings for the 35kWh standard charge and 110km/h Adelaide to Eden, NSW

    So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

    I'm not familiar with the EV Rav 4. Must be in another market. I'll select it and have a play with the planner tomorrow. I did a quick plan for my specification Kona for a similar trip but a bit shorter distance (Adelaide to Eden 1284 km) with max speed set at 115 km/h and it came up with...

    So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

    I wouldn't either for whatever vehicle you have entered into the planner. It wasn't a mobility scooter, was it?

    Try mapping out trips you usually do for different EVs you may be interested in buying, using A Better Route Planner .

    So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

    We will have had our Kona Electric for 4 years in April. It still feels good to not have to go to a service station. We ended up buying a cheapie air compressor though because it didn't seem ethical to just rock up to pump the tyres.

    Queensland State Election 2020

    Regardless of Covid19 and border closures, it's only been a little over 5 years since Campbell Newman. Queensland voters may have short memories but possibly not that short.

    Scams like these

    Haven't struck the reverse charge scam yet. How do they manage to enable the reverse charge?

    But probably lease their G6.

    Article: Flying first class: How can anyone afford it?

    We have paid for discounted F but can't even start to consider private long haul. Just out of curiosity, I recently priced out a one-way NTL-BRS for 4 PAX and it came out north of €170,000.

    Scams like these

    Has anyone else noticed a significant reduction in phone scam calls recently? I don't know if the scammers are becoming discouraged due to a reduction in the number of "bites" generally or if our landline has made it on to a sort of "don't bother calling" list because of the sort of interaction...

    How many people actually fly F in their lives?

    I don't know anything about F pricing in 1981. My flight was an upgrade from Y (J was just beginning to be introduced on some carriers then). I was thinking more about the comfort and catering. As I recall, the seats reclined a fair bit but not flat. Legroom in F seemed adequate and the booze...

    How many people actually fly F in their lives?

    My first ever F flight on 2 January 1981 as a result of a complimentary upgrade on a PanAM 747SP upper deck SYD-LAX was probably equivalent to Air New Zealand Premium Economy today in a lot of ways.

    How many people actually fly F in their lives?

    Cost becomes less of an issue the closer a person approaches to the end of their days. Hopefully, I still have quite a few days yet to expend because the paid F I used SYD-LHR-SYD this year was discounted (A).
