| Or you can pool resources as those types of securities and financial instruments don't require someone to be accredited. The only issue is then you need someone eyin the damn thing like a hawk lol. B/c timing of disposal/sale/transfer/execution is critical. |

u know my brother?
and i got the car for free. it was on his name cause of insurance and we were sharing it. i just did all the work on it. really i spent too much money on it but it last for 2-3 years and i had my fun with it. i would still be drving it today but we have too many cars at home and no use for it right now. so im at a loss with it but i don't really care.
pics will be up soon. been busy working to get any pics up.
oh and it comes with free stickers on the back windshield lol. |

As long as after all fees are paid you still beat the rate of inflation. Something most people forget. I dont like funds as tbey generally dont yield as well as individual positions. |

Even with higher gas prices its often cheaper to drive. Especially if you dont live downtown. And especially if i have more than one destination in a day.
Then there is the "time is money" factor that people tend to forget. My time is worth much more for the wasted hours per day than it is to save literally a few dollars on gas as opposed to bus fares. |

Thats absolutely INSANE!!
That means you get (combined):
3.8 L/100km, or
63 MPG (US), or
75 MPG(UK).
I find this hard to believe on a canadian vehicle... thats like what the new vw polo diesel over in europe gets!
(but what do i know. cale what sayeth you? you know ur cars... and by extension im assuming gas vs. diesel too... ;)) |
