Point of clarification: early mortgage payments on a 30-yr are typically 100% interest for the first year and a half or thereabouts. You pay it down faster the later in the schedule you are. Get an amortization schedule from your lender. That said I agree with the above - pay down debt whenever you are able.

Industry News: GM, Ford Brace For Economic Downturn; German Economy Shrinks
Those numbers don't seem right. Theres an estimated 400 million guns in the US. 4% of US population is 14,000,000, obviously a lot less once you eliminate minors.

^ Agreed with the above principal; tech just doesn't move nearly fast enough to make anything 4 years old 'irrelevant'. Most production redesigns are on a 7 year window as it is. I don't feel that a 2-yr delay does anything other than cause a dozen serious buyers a longer wait. That said; the car as a marketing tool IS irrelevant. Not going to sell a single 'nuther A- or C-class if this thing eventually sees the light of day.- Random Thoughts Thread

Falconer V-16.- Mercedez Benz News Mercedes-AMG One Delayed
If it's a million dollars or whatever and they're going to bother putting electric motors in it, shouldn't it be the first to go 500 miles on battery power, instead of less than every other car already in production?- Random Thoughts Thread

The EV-only range being quoted is a mere 25 miles. That's pretty pathetic.- Random Thoughts Thread
