Wow, great prices on the stuff I looked up. You should keep a good stock of the oil, air, battery (FP-51) filter and the pollen filters. I'll putting an order in for that stuff as well as telling a whole bunch of folks on a hybrid site I belong to.

So, any special deals for your fellow FTE supporter?

I second that. Millennium Ford's prices are very good. Ed added the missing parts numbers to the site and I placed an order. All within minutes. I love FTE, and it's sponsors.

Big Props!

Anyway, if any of you that live in the cold side of the country ever install a remote start system or know of one, please let me know. My Admiral (wife) would like to have one installed and no one here in Hawaii seems to want to take the chance to do it due to warranty issues I guess. Thanks
and another issue, Don't we warrant a page of our own? "Escape Hybrids Only"???

Big Aloha from Hawai'i Y'all

Okay, that's good enough for me.

Your company has a much fairer shipping charge than another site I looked at so looks like you've won my business.

Thanks again.

Hey fella's,
Anybody do their taxe's yet? if you did, what state and what was your Fed/State kickback if any....for owning a Hybrid. I mean, here in Hawaii they haven't figured out if they're going to give it to us for 2006 yet but the talk is in process.
Also, I read that there was a waiting list for Hybrids in California. wow, it seems like nobody wants them here and we got the craziest gas prices??? it just don't make any sense to me

Haven't done them yet - I am afraid to since I got a big retroactive payraise last year and I do a bunch of contract (1099) work so I am going to owe huge money. Oh well, I am sure the government needs it more than me .

On the plus side, I will be able to write off the sales tax on the two hybrids plus will have the two, $2000 deductions. That will help.

Massachusetts doesn't give us jack for buying hybrids. Guess they need the money to send illegal aliens to college for free .

We got a couple feet of snow here in the northeast today. Are you sure you want to leave Hawaii?

As I understand it, in tax year 2005 the FEH was eligible for a $2000 deduction. If you're in the 25% bracket, you net about $500 back. A deduction is a reduction in taxable income. Like property tax, live in mothers-in-law , and charitable giving.

But for tax year 2006, the FWD FEH is eligible for a $2600 credit, and the 4WD is eligible for a $1950 credit. A credit is a reduction in tax. Thus, you get that entire amount back .

Quite a difference and quite a bit better for those who purchase in 2006.

Yea, I'm sure I want to leave here! way too crowded and tired of going around in circles plus I'm a snow boarder, so, snow I like-20 degrees minus, wind chill -50 no like. but for the most, I get to drive straight for a long time without having to keep turning left, and left, and left and left and before you kow it, your back where you started
Nothing against immigrants but per capita, I'm sure we have our fair share on welfare (there goes my taxes again), in our schools, claiming government subsidies just to name a few. But what you gonna do when you go to the store to buy a head for lettuce for $10 whacha gonna do

Anyway, I hope we atleast get something back for owning a Hybrid when everyone else here own guzzlers and sports cars. I think maybe .5% of 100 here own hybrids.

Dangit! My "Supporter" tag is gone! I guess my Dues are Due!

Aloha All!
