Re: To the Big Rigs Problems
1. They do the same as we do in the Limo Business..we just raise the add on srucharge accordingly..the same, I might add as they should to the Airlines..
2. Our Business is Up 8% already this yr ( over 58% since 2003 ) with more getting wealthier and for safety reasons, not to mention the big reason? don't have to fight traffic in their own cars..Which is best for our benefit... more traffic = more use Limo's..
3. In my Little Resort town? We are now allowed to use DOT Approved Elecrtic/Propane Gas Golf type Carts..but with Bumpers/Lights/Side curtains, etc.. They cost from $8-$10,000 with Regular looking( but smaller ) Auto fiberglass bodies..and do upto 45 mph.
Est. mileage? 78 mpg. Just plug it in over nite and good to go in the am..
Alot safer than riding Bikes and can carry 2 people and with Groceries..
Throw in a Handicapp sign and your good to go
Of course not recommended for On Hwy's or Use in Winter climates.. But your going to see alot of them popping up in California, Fla and other southern states and Up here in Wi. where it's good ot use them 6-8 mos yr...
And why spend $40,000 ( ave $15,000 More) to buy a hybrid when it will take at least 10 yrs to break even! The nybrids in our neighborhod are breaking down after just 2 yrs already! And The Labor and parts rates at $125 hr are outrageous! My neighbors are getting rid of them.. They 4 cycl cars do just as well and cost less per mile and are $15k less on average..
China is comming out with $5k and $10k cars... ! Move over GM/Ford/Toyota!
