Hi! My name is Genna Contino and I'm a journalist at MarketWatch. I'm writing a story about how Spirit kept many long-distance relationships afloat. I'm looking to interview people whose relationships were strengthened due to Spirit's cheap fares - maybe it made a last-minute weekend trip affordable or a surprise visit possible. Maybe you were able to visit each other every month by flying Spirit. I want to hear your stories about the airline.

Shoot me an email at genna.contino@marketwatch.com if you'd like to be interviewed for the piece and are OK with having your first and last name included. Apologies for my odd Reddit name, it was auto-generated when I made the account and I can't change it now LOL. (Mods pls delete if this isn't allowed)

**UPDATE 2:41 p.m. 4/29: Thank you for this overwhelming response! I've heard from so many of you and unfortunately won't be able to respond to every email, but I'll keep you guys in mind for future MarketWatch stories about EVs!**

I am a reporter at MarketWatch working on a story about how electric vehicle owners are navigating the current surge in gas prices.

I am looking to interview drivers who feel their investment in an EV has officially paid off now that gas is hitting $4 a gallon. I am especially interested in hearing from people who may have faced skepticism from friends or family when they first bought their car but now feel validated by their decision.

If you are open to a brief chat about your experience and how your commute or travel plans have remained unchanged by high oil prices, please reach out.

You can contact me directly at genna.contino@marketwatch.com and I'm happy to answer any questions about the reporting process before you agree to be quoted. Thanks! (and apologies for the odd username - it was auto-generated by Reddit and I am unable to change it LOL)
