Just superficially, the market can see that Twitter will never be able to cover expenses, which means TSLA stock is going to be sold to finance the loss. (And the more the stock looses value, that just means more shares are necessarily going to be sold.)

“Probably the best sports car I’ve ever driven” - Bob Bondurant

That straight looks ridiculously long, which means crazy high speeds.  How are they possibly going to manage 200 mph cars in that situation?  Or am I missing something?

There’s something called a ‘straw man argument,’ and I think you just nailed it.

Indeed.  I was curious to hear what they’re up to these days, but one listen to that track and - okay - now I know.   “Inspired,” is not a word I would use.

A few years ago I towed an old Model A Ford on a trailer back from Kansas, which was an awful lesson in how ridiculous truck culture has become. The trailer / car combination maybe weighed a total of 2,200 lbs. However, the most reasonable thing I could rent was a Dodge Ram extended cab / long-bed, lifted, enormous…

I once drove across country with a friend in her 1990 Saab Turbo. It was a wonderful car, but she ended up selling it for something newer only a few months later.

A lot of people are going to say “this is just how celebrities / super wealthy people behave,” which is complete BS. Thanks to my job, I’ve had dinner with people own two private jets, lunch with the owner of a major league baseball team, etc. and the vast majority of them were perfectly gracious and “normal” in social…

I wonder if the catastrophic oil surge under acceleration in a direction opposite of the designers’ anticipation (the engine sits ‘backwards’ in a 911) has been solved in this installation? Haha. Just kidding. It’ll destroy itself if any of that performance is regularly used.

Fiat 127 magically becomes a Yugo

Remember “the Caddy that zigs”...?

As a 964 owner, with 260,000 miles on it, all I can say is “Huh?”

You’re talking about a capital budgeting question and not paying attention to all the moving parts. The cost of capital is everything. What you’re proposing is just another way to leverage a depreciating asset with negative equity(!). This, while papering over the vast increase in risk, thanks to that <1% fairytale…

Yes, we all know the down payment makes little monthly difference — until the buyer is left with negative equity - a deficit that is either budgeted for at the beginning of the loan or the end.

Okay. What I didn’t apparently understand was that you want to pretend that a total payment schedule that adds roughly $5,500 to the cost of the car is IRRELEVANT, including terms which ALSO means that a person who is trading in / selling a car must then cover the missing equity on the outstanding loan. What, maybe ano…

My comment was responding to the information presented, like everyone else who read the article.

Sure, but what part of 5.8% APR do you not understand?  

Does Dave Ramsey have a grad degree in finance like I do?
