Misc. Ramblings

What goes from zero to 60 miles per hour (mph) in three seconds, has a top speed of 180 mph, and never needs to stop at a gas station? Meet the Mullen GT electric car . Now, don't ask any questions about whether it makes economic or even environmental sense to pay almost $125,000 for this car. If you do, you're probably not going to buy this because it doesn't make much sense from those points of view.

But then, tell me what sense does it make to spend money to buy a Ferrari or any of the other super cars? People don't buy this class of car for those reasons.

Don't get me wrong, if I had the money I would snap up the latest Ferrari in less than three seconds. But I don't have that kind of money. So I have to weigh the cost versus the benefits.

Truth be told, even if I did have the money, a super car certainly wouldn't be my every day car because it's not very practical. I mean, I'm too old for a two-door sports car and I'm way past the point that I enjoy crawling under a car to work on it. Then there's the mileage, gas or otherwise. And finally, the opportunity cost is so high that you can buy several less costly vehicles for the price of one of these.

That all said, if anyone wants to give me a Ferrari; my email address is to the right.
