Not really. You'll pay income tax on that interest, and inflation usually runs about 2-3% per year. 

Local cops in Silicon Valley will go through parking lots of large companies and record out of state plates. Then return four months later. Any still there get ticketed.

“We had to blow $70K because if we didn’t we would have spent only one fifth as much”

And so your logic means who grew up as a female and is now a trans man would share that bathroom. I don't think you've thought this all the way through.

How do you know how many people are interested in reading about transgender people and issues?

E400 4matic wagon. 329 hp, seats 7 (seven, in a car!), 64 cubic feet of cargo space, and even makes a dignified funeral hearse. What more could  you want?

Warning: rant

I’ve had guns pointed at me 4 times, all by police. None of those times was I committing a crime (I’ve never been arrested in my life). Maybe its just me, but my instinct was surrender. Closer to “collapse and shiver in terror” when it was 8 cops (they were training the new officers on how to do full felony stops, and…

and 45-day impound of the vehicle

If it’s a street with a solid median dividing the traffic from the opposite direction, and there are no side streets, driveways, or other places for traffic to enter, and you have someone drive ahead to make sure there is no traffic on it. I have never street raced and wouldn’t, but I have gone well over the limit on…

Apart from needing a lot of land, you have noise issues. In say the Los Angeles area or the San Francisco Bay Area you’re not going to find land that isn’t millions of dollars or neighbors who will tolerate it.

Hahahahaha - you’re joking, right? You think people can set these things up responsibly?
In most places it’s illegal to shoot a gun in city limits. But....welcome to Florida. Where we have backyard gun ranges. And whoops, every now and then somebody gets a bullet whizzing through their property.

If you go the hot hatch route (which I don’t think she wants, she wants a coupe, something closer to a GT) then I’d say a Golf R.

Electronic stability control is a pretty important safety feature, especially on the freeway in the rain. And newer cars have much better airbags - head/thoracic, etc. Newer cars also have much lower rates of foot/lower leg injuries in crashes.

Only because cars weren’t around when the Constitution was written. Heck, owning other humans as farm animals was a right. It’s friggin’ nuts that owning a remote control that can end a dozen lives with a few clicks is a right, but the most basic device you need in most of America to get to work isn’t.

Esperante,

I’m with you on this. For the price of this Panoz you could get a Caddy XLR V, which is a whole world of performance and comfort better.
And that Avant? As much as I love those cars - in theory - in the real world at a price of free that thing would still be a CP money pit

Oh dear god those things are ugly, pics don’t do it the proper injustice.

You think this Muistang-based GT is ugly?

I’m not a Wall-Street talkin’ guy, but what if the idea is to split Tesla in to two companies - the car business and the battery business? The two pieces have very different capital requirements looking forward, different market potential, different growth curves.
