That's tough shit for the kids. You really shouldn't be living life hoping for a nice payoff once your parents croak.

Ah sorry, didn't trace the discussion back to Vinen's post. I say go for it! I'd consider a Model S, but they're just too fucking big and I don't trust EV's in Edmonton's climate.

What are you sporting right now Eomer? The lack of AWD is really the part that bothers me with a Tesla :> I've been driving various Subaru's my entire life.
Fuck, I wish my wife and I hadn't settled down in the NE. If were in California this would be a no brainer.

Still have the same 2009 335xi coupe w/ a few Dinan mods, I've posted pics of it before. I was thinking of keeping it for another couple years as I still love driving it, but my bro offered to sell me his 2010 535xi wagon, which I'm thinking hard on doing. It would be much more practical for going on weekend ski/camping/hiking/biking trips with friends, and it's an auto so the girlfriend could drive it. And it's pretty much fucking impossible to buy anything new that is equivalent, as every manufacturer has given up on sport wagons in North America. If I pass on it, I probably won't find anything else similar without looking extremely hard. I think he had to bring it in from Montreal in the first place.

Anyone know how Eprices work on a dealers site? If I go to the dealer can I still get the eprice in person or will only do it online usually?
You should get the same price. People have won lawsuits over that price being wrong.

Three people at my office have Teslas and they all swear that it's the best car they have ever owned, hands down. Took a drive in one as a passenger and its got to be the smoothest ride/acceleration I've ever felt, and that sweet ass 20" portrait LCD or whatever makes the car feel like something out of Star Trek. Though its only been about a year that they've had them, they all claim that they've been problem/repair free. Important when Texas makes you jump through hoops to even buy one, let alone get it serviced.
Personally, if the car is in your price range, and distance/charge isn't a factor for you, buying a Tesla is definitely a good purchase imho..

I have gotten 3 emails from Tesla through linked-in that they wanted to interview me for a job. It wouldnt be that bad if they actually paid what would be an equivalent salary form here in Michigan to California. But sadly they wont and Id be living like a peasant out there.
Bought a new Subaru Outback this week for the wife. I really like the safety features and the AWD for the snow/ice.
On a side note, I have a 97 mustang that needs to head to the junk yard. Looks like there are several people on craigslist who will come tow it away and pay some cash for it. Anyone have experience with something like this?

Yeah, its legit, what you wanna know, pretty self explanatory. Thing is they will make more than they are paying you by parting it out. If you were able to find someone who will work with you to part it out and sell it piece by piece then its possible to make more money, but if you don't give a fuck then its the easiest way to go from a convenience standpoint.
If it even sort-of runs, you may be able to donate it to charity and write if off next year.

Test drove one a while back. Would have probably purchased if there was an AWD enabled model.

You could do that. I just called the local junk yard and they picked it up for the price of scrap metal ($150 at the time). Depending what you have in it, it might or might not be worth it. You could probably donate it and feel better.

random funny of the road one day... a Tesla pulls up next to a late model Maybac- drivers look at each other... oh the things that must have processed through their heads.
I am thinking about getting the wife a little SUV- I need to sell her civic for cash though- has anyone ever done a cash deal at a dealership? Its a 2005 civic 18k miles still smells new
