Any bodies in more than a week would have dissolved!

Cars give plants and fish a home?

Yeah, Tesla raised about $800mil by going public if memory serves.

Shhh, you're ruining an article about stocks that also doesn't assume that the company grows in order to "pay back" it's market cap

For reference, on their 2019 balance sheet their total common stock + additional paid in capital was like $19 Billion which is a closer approximation of “money put into” tesla. 

Market cap is not the same as “the amount of money the stock market has put into it(tesla)”. Market cap is the current combined valuation of all shares based on current price. But the vast majority of those shares were purchased at an earlier date/lower price, or were even given for $0 cash as equity awards to Musk

Around here, I have seen most of their inventory just about the same price as other dealerships around here. Even if I spend a bit more, the ease of purchase is definitely worth it for me

I am not at all a rich man, but I would absolutely pay more to avoid the hassle of dealing with a dealership. I want the experience of buying a car to be as close as possible to ordering another pair of my favorite socks from Amazon. I want a complete and accurate listing, a clearly-disclosed price, quick delivery,

We test drove a Cadillac CTS Coupe and as soon as we opened the door the smell of cigarette smoke blasted us in the face. We are non-smokers so it’s an instantly dead deal. The salesman tried to tell us all we had to do was leave the windows down for a couple weeks and it would be gone. My wife said, “Then why didn’t

The top image - I thought that or a weird hearse.

And that is a fair assesment, but when you have already completed 99% of the process, starting all over may not be the best use of your time, especially if the dealer will give in and pull the nonsense from the quote.

Should have walked away from the CRV deal and found another dealership. Don't put up with these types of scams.

Now the Coast Guard, one of the five service branches of the U.S. military...

There is nothing fun about commuting on Oahu.  Nothing.  As long as the A/C runs well, keep the Toyota.  Live there for 6+ months, and then find something on one of the lemon lots on Pearl or Hickam (they will ALWAYS be separate bases to me.  ALWAYS.). 

Let’s face it, there’s no good car for driving in traffic in Hawaii because it all sucks. Oh and fuel is crazybags expensive. So go crazy and get a Myers Manx. Since he’s in the Navy I assume he’s good working on boats which is basically what the body of the Manx is. VW simplicity, unique, easy to find parts for.

See, Buffett is actually, really, truly, sincerely rich.

The fisherman also went on to catch one of these.

Imagine having so much money that you can do all this and still afford to buy a house and raise three kids? These people must be loaded AND stupid.

How dumb do I need to be to make that kinda scratch? I’m willing to work at it. I can get a helluva lot dumber than I am currently and I need the money. 

As a gay man, I can say from experience there is a definite inverse relationship between the size of one’s vehicle and the size of certain parts on the male anatomy.

Paying a small fee to avoid a dealership and all of their bullshit is money well spent. We just did it, and Tom kicked ass. Showed up, signed the papers, got the demo of how things work in the car, and out the door in a little over an hour. Painless, and I didn’t feel like I needed a shower after I left the
