Pennies switched from 95% copper in 1982

Adjusted for inflation, he spent about $15,000 in 1982 dollars, and that $12,500 it’s worth now would’ve been equal to about $4,000 back in 1982. Dude lost money.

ND: The combination of roof style, transmission, engine, and color, make this a ND for me. I’m sure for the right person (maybe 12 or 15 in the world), this would be seen as a good investment, but I wouldn’t want this in my life at any price.

Just get a 14-50 receptacle installed and a standard mobile charger. Those charge at up to 32 amps, and with a Model Y Performance it equates to 32 miles an hour. The official level two chargers go up to 40 or so amps, cost $500 dollars plus $1-$2k installation and only charge at 38 miles per hour.

I got a 39 panel (13.9 kW) system installed on my house in February of last year. My total cost was around $40k, but my interest rate on that 20 year loan is only 1.5%. Since I live in Las Vegas and have dual AC units and a pool, my average electric bill went from $300-$400 (over $600 in the summer) to $13.48 to…

Damn! I sold my 2003 track prepped Miata last year for $8000 - sure it had 137,000 miles, but it had a better roll bar, wheels, tires, coilovers, brakes, and sways. It was also red, which makes it better in every way. Granted, the AC didn’t work, and it had a stock clutch, flywheel, and exhaust.

When my wife and I used to have a travel trailer, she would be on “Open Right Lane” and “Large enough parking lot to pull through” duty.

I say switch it up to Tesla Model Y’s, that way when you get to where you’re going everyone is bruised and battered. At least in my part of the US. 

I just flew from DC to Las Vegas, and when we checked our bags at the self help station it automatically printed our boarding passes. The funny thing is, I was kind of happy to have it since I was able to leave my phone in my pocket AND it scanned a lot faster than half the phones that were in front of me.  

since you can’t shave 2 seconds off a 0-60 time of 1.9, I believe he’s talking about on the Nürburgring times.

What are you going to do for Las Vegas? Cocaine Bloody Mary with a small buffet as a garnish?

Yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but there are certain elements that increase the likelihood that most people will find a vehicle or object attractive, and the two cars I just showed are generally considered to be in the list of most beautiful cars. What’s your idea of a gorgeous car?

You’re wrong, but just to be clear, are you saying that the Hyundai ELANTRA above is more gorgeous than a Ferrari 250 California? How about this BMW 3.0 CSi?

Better looking, YES... Gorgeous, though? That’s exceptionally hyperbolic, and cheapens the word. And you folks use it a lot to describe Hyundai’s for some reason.

Aside from the stupid three exit exhaust, I think it looks great. As others have mentioned, it really should have been AWD, or something to differentiate itself from the Civic Type R

It really is dumb that the only option we get in the states is the Transit and E-Transit now. The Transit Connect and this are perfect for a lot of businesses, like catering, delivery, flower shops, plumbers, and so on. Not everyone needs a full size van. The stupid chicken tax keeps them from being able to easily…

At this price, you could turn this into a “Farm Truck” and have a blast. That said, I know very little about the reliability of these cars, and if it’s not an AWD, I would have to change my vote. 

Here in Las Vegas/Henderson, it seems like 1/3 or more of all Amazon delivery vehicles are Rivian vans. They’re awesome to see, and one benefit a lot of people may not think about is how super quiet they are, which as someone who works from home can attest, it’s not a minor thing.

It’s shell companies all the way down

Does that make Ferraris Glorified Chryslers, or Audis, Porsches, Lamborghinis, or Bugatti glorified Volkswagens?
