As a father of two, that number seems quite low. Tuition, nanny, tutors, education supplies, clothes, food, car, insurance, yada, yada, yada. Just those items alone would go well over 250k per kid.

For more information on the subject, I'm going to refer you to my all-time favorite concept car, which was revealed by Mercedes-Benz just a couple of weeks ago at the Detroit Auto Show. It's called – this is its actual name – the "F 015 Luxury In Motion," and it looks like an art sculpture that a university would…

She's 33? Yeah, that's a meth addict if ever I've seen one.

Apparently she is not so impenetrable.

I dunno, it depends on how long she has been a heroin addict. If it's recent, she may actually look great, but over 5 years, she probably looks like Steven Tyler.

Better != Faster. A lot of people appreciate these classic cars because they are built in a simpler way which many of us prefer. My E550 will destroy this car in every performance category but I'd still love to park one of these right next to it.

Definitely this. In 80s white (thanks Don Johnson) was the key.

Goodnight junior.

Please tell me how the industry I've been an executive in for years works. You have no fucking clue what you're talking about.

The current deal is paying NASCAR 8.4 BILLION over the next decade. If it wasn't so profitable, would networks fight over the right to shell out nearly a billion dollars a year?

You think they lose money? Sports are THE most profitable thing on TV (well popular sports, not this stuff). You keep up with your crusade and don't pay for cable and that's fine, nobody really cares.

You don't pay $2000 a year to get their content. You pay $2000 for every channel you purchase in your bundle and DTV or whoever pays retransmission fees and per-subscriber fees to Fox Sports. For FS2, you're probably paying about 6 bucks a year for the privilege of getting that channel.

Before anything is broadcast, they can tell you within a pretty damn good range how many viewers it will attract. There are always outliers, but I don't think you have any clue as to what it costs to send trucks, producers, directors, broadcasters, etc to an event then have your engineer back at the lot and a…

Ok, this is really simple - motor racing (except for Nascar) doesn't sell advertising even as well as a D3 women's basketball game. You should thank your lucky stars that FS even carries this stuff because it's getting harder and harder to find anyone willing to pay for the rights to the coverage of these events. …

That's all fine and dandy but when this really starts to take off, everybody else will be using SAE (or another standard that more than one car uses), where will Tesla find itself? This is just like when Apple tried to push Firewire because it was so much faster than USB 1.0. Well, now everybody uses the USB…

I completely agree personally. I was just stating what Musk said as recently as last week at the Detroit Auto Show.

Yes, they do. But Elon has been very clear that he believes that EV is the future. Not Hydrogen, not gasoline, just EV. If he actually believes that, then he should be supporting a universal standard. The last thing the EV world needs is a Betamax v VHS debate.

This is one thing that has always annoyed me about the Tesla supercharger system. They open source their patents, but they didn't use the already-existing standard when they starting building everything. I assume Tesla will create (or already has) some kind of adaptor that will allow Teslas to use these other…

I actually do own a classic SL as well, but I don't depend on that for daily transportation so I can deal with it when I want to, not when it wants me to.

Because that is the fun part. I still love cars. Maybe for your parents they didn't care. But to me, the difference between a 2014 E63 AMG and a 2004 E55 is massive (plus I would never own an AMG outside of warranty for obvious reasons).
