Bolter Posted January 20 Report Posted January 20 On 1/18/2025 at 4:55 AM, jetdriven said: I drive a 2023 Bolt EV, Bolter. don’t laugh, these are really good cars. I like the Bolt. It is well priced, great range for the price point, and honestly practical car. They are a bargain on the Hertz used car site, right now. Whereas the Tesla's and most other EV's are competing in a space where they emphasize the acceleration potential and luxury or high-tech features, the Bolt is what EV's should be for the average person. If I had the parking space at home, I was going to get a Bolt for a daily driver over my 3/4 ton diesel. It would pay for itself in a few years. Quote
Ollie Gark Posted April 6 Report Posted April 6 I am in favor of raising landing fees at NY airports. I am in favor of aggressive collection practices. I am in favor of more transparency regarding aircraft ownership. I am in favor of raising sales tax on aircraft purchases. I am in favor of increasing registration fees, insurance premiums and the gas tax on Avgas. 2 Quote

You forgot taxes on carbon and all other externalities (including bad tie selection, public playing of the accordion and intentional facsimiles thereof, establishment of internment camps, and forced erasure of all Saturday Night Live episodes after Jon Lovitz, and probably unlicensed no-back springs. Well-played though. You got me for a moment. 2 Quote

wombat Posted April 28 Report Posted April 28 If an airport has a landing fee published correctly and I land there, I will pay it. I don't care how they identify me or even if they do. I will call them up to pay if I have to. If an airport has a tie-down fee with appropriate notification, I will pay it. I will figure out how to pay it. If I get a bill that I don't owe, I will not pay it unless forced to do so by the government, but that hasn't happened yet. It sounds like Vector has a lot of false positives which is too bad. 3 Quote

DXB Posted Tuesday at 02:09 AM Author Report Posted Tuesday at 02:09 AM I got a bill from Vector by email a couple of weeks ago for $300 past due. The tail number in the bill was not mine. They managed to link my last name and email to an LLC apparently owned by someone of the same last name. They got a reply to go f*ck themselves without further explanation. Then the airport contacted me trying to collect. They got a more detailed explanation, including a critique of their decision to work with such a predatory business. 6 Quote

I think the pre-internet, small town response would be to put a flaming bag of dog feces on their front porch and ring the doorbell. (you can't take me anywhere...) 1 Quote
