Those are definitely some very quirky features!  

That’s a Ute and you know it.  

My man. 

First of all, I don’t need a life outside of the Jalopnik comments section. The outside world is lame and scary.

Mr. Hodge, I’m guessing you don’t have a lot of experience in nonprofit/charitable fundraising. Allow me, a guy who has decades of experience being on nonprofit boards and running their huge (hundreds of people, 6 and 7 digit donations) fundraising events, explain it to you. [Yes, I’m being serious. You didn’t expect…

Point of order: The Texas Hill Country starts WEST of Austin, not EAST of Austin. This is a very important fact, as the Gigafactory sits in an area called Del Valle, which is for paupers, compared to the ruling class who live in the actual Hill Country.

Drive what you like. And if anyone gives you hell for it, accidentally wrap a tow strap around their rear axle and pull it out of the vehicle completely.

Me, reading your peasant post:

You’re correct, but I cannot claim to be uncultured swine myself.

I, too, am 6', with a long torso, so I couldn’t use a Miata for track day, either.

The Range Rover is the SUV for wealthy people who want to be seen in them and don’t understand the potential for expensive catastrophic failure.

How DARE Tesla use tax law that has existed for decades to encourage companies to spend money for business development to their advantage!

Low incomes won’t qualify for the amount that I quoted.

You got me, I slipped up a little on the keypad, but the numbers stay the same in the end. Gain $3,726 from the investments, pay $7,884.06.  You close out the loan in 60 months on average with a lower payment.  

If I lost you at 7.5% (which is a low ball for the past decade) on a moderate, less volatile portfolio, it’s because you don’t understand finance, not because my numbers aren’t sound.

If you don’t have $5k to put into the market instead of $10k, then you probably shouldn’t be buying a $65k car.

I didn’t use 0% in my example.  I used more realistic numbers for my example, with decent, but not perfect, credit.

Oh, you want me to explain? Fine.

Counterpoint: If you are able to get an 84 month loan at ZERO FUCKING PERCENT, YOU’RE A MATHEMATICALLY INGORANT FOOL NOT TO TAKE IT.

“…which means rubbing shoulders with boring finance types.”
