  1. 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.
  2. I cut my 30-yr (actually 22-yr; a bi-weekly) to 11 years. Havent had a mortgage payment since 2004.
  3. 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.
  4. circa '71 Mustang hood scoops, looks pretty damned good ~
  5. trainz iz cool. ?
  6. Bet these women hate pumping their own gas.
  7. ^ 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.
  8. Would make for a killer sleeper if one LS'd it:
  9. Interesting to see MPG rating sticker for 455 CI '76 Trans Am :
  10. Falconer V-16.
  11. 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?
  12. The EV-only range being quoted is a mere 25 miles. That's pretty pathetic.
  13. You can buy a 1000 HP engine at Dodge and do 210+ MPH right now. Wait: its front wheel drive??
  14. Reminds me of the Tesla having to warm its batteries for AN HOUR to achieve max accel in ludicrious mode. The case is certainly easily made that EVs are benchmarking ICs but are still falling well short.
  15. “Problem” is a nice way to put it. ‘Fraud’ might be closer to the truth tho.
  16. ? - - - - -
