I have the $50 Leaf in my driveway. It could have been $29 but I put the $500 down into the payment because... why not. So - your math definitely checks out. I had a ‘09 Cayenne GTS getting 13mpg on premium, and I also had a lot of surplus energy coming from my roof solar. So I sold the Cayenne, leased the Leaf,…

Trivia nobody cares about: Back in the early aughts I 3d modeled and rendered the boat for this poster art. They could have used the studio model of the studio had cared to share it, but they didn’t. Fun project! Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

What a stupid take. You know what else can shorten your race car driving season / career / life? Racing a car.

Its been a good car. The more you own it the more you know what little things can go wrong, and what preventative stuff you can do. It’s a lot of car for the price. The price of entry is low, but some repairs like the tandem power steering pump are $$$$ just because it’s a very complicated machine with a lot of…

It’s a 2009. I’m about a year in to owning it. There are things to maintain and fix but they’ve been Youtube doable and fairly gratifying to do myself. Took a few weeks to find a clean one at a price in my range, but they do pop up.

Checks to see how much they’ve come down... still over 100k. Nah, no way. I will keep an eye out, though, because I’m loving my 90% depreciated Cayenne a lot, and it’s a crazy amount of car for what I paid. Fully depreciated Porsches can be pretty great.

I’ll swing back and vote to register my outrage after I’ve had a chance to sit in them and get numb butt cheeks.

I put in a deposit on the Ocean after I read some fairly positive early reviews. At the time EVs were impossible to get, people were flipping Rivians like houses, and all was shiny in the world. The Ocean seemed like a solid option at a fairly affordable base price point. But once demand cooled, scarcity costs came…

Hold on... do you own it or not?! Do they take it back at the end, do they offer to sell it to you a second time at the end? Insane.

That’s probably accurate, but I’m still happy for that guy, whoever he is. Owning a life long dream car later in life when you can actually afford it is the goal of many 6-10 year olds.

Liam Neeson yacht repo movie. Would watch. “I have a very special set of skills”.

If I had that money I’d get a 22b.

And Bugattis have a dual purpose: Pelican hunting. Very versatile.

The 190E is worth it. Everything else can burn.

You’re confusing that with the Defend Your Catalytic Converter law.

I like these. They have absurd presence. I pity no rich person re: depreciation and maintenance.

I want this so much more than that Rolls Boat Tail.

Ummm. I’ve got one with 22ok, better condition than that. Motor rebuilt 50k ago (by a Land Crusier genius). $5k if anyone wants it. Needs some work as well. Some rust bubbles around the windshield, but very clean chassis. Etc etc. So that makes this $7k one a CP.

It’s a massively wide straight 4 lane road with a massively wide shoulder to ride on. People can talk about bikes vs cars and get into that side argument. But in this case it’s a drunk or high asshole who couldn’t keep his car on the road. I ride this same road weekly and when I rode by the ghost bike yesterday my jaw…

Shaming doesn’t work well as a point of motivation in the Taiwanese culture. #protip
