Everyone should drive a vehicle they love...lots of great choices out there!

Vehicles are all about personal preference’s!

Drive what makes you happy...and enjoy the ride!

And yes... I’d love to have a Elio vehicle in my garage. My Elio would get heavily modified!!!

OK, I'll bite;
ROWG stands for ????
I call it Rich Older White Guy. It's where you get to the point where you buy toys and enjoy life and don't understand why others don't do it either. Yet you'll complain that the younger generation spends too much money on buying things for fun.

Full disclosure, my son came up with that one.

Hard earned money is the reward of good work ethics and successful business endeavors..

I love my automotive play-toys...but good health...a great family...and being surrounded by wonderful friends is
what's really important!

Life is precious...never waste a day when you're healthy!

The possible issue with many of the younger generation spending too much money on buying things fun, is buying things they really can’t afford on credit. Whereas, the older generation, not necessarily rich, managed to put some savings for retirement in the bank, paid for and continue to save up and pay for things fun or otherwise, with cash. “Spend Life Living!”

It makes sense. Back in the day a 25" console TV only cost a mere $500. A fridge was a cheap $800. HiFi system was $1K. Top it off, those cool English cars, only rusted out and took all of your time just to keep them going or you paid a mechanic to keep it going. Today, the younger generation have all of those pensions that they get automatically and then the health benefits cover everyone in the family and then you get it paid 100% for you and your spouse until you die. That was what we never got back in the day. Going to college is dirt cheap today and you have an automatic job right out of school. Back in the day you were in trouble because you had huge college debt and no guarantee for a job.

Back in the day was so much better. We were so much smarter.

Well I have the OWG part down, don't have the R to go with it, wife #2 took care of that.
And I had fun while I was younger, but alas, it's all gone now <sigh>

Interesting article I found today:

Registration data suggests slump in Tesla sales
Mar. 24, 2019 1:53 PM ET|About: Tesla, Inc. (TSLA)|By: SA Eli Hoffmann, SA News Editor


Registrations of new Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) vehicles fell significantly from January to February according to the Dominion Cross-Sell Report.

6,252 Teslas were registered with motor vehicle agencies in the 23 states covered by the report in February, compared to 23,310 in January and a monthly average of 13,000 to 17,000 in Q4.

The Jan. surge was expected, as TSLA sought to sell cars ahead of the 2018 tax credit shrink.

Dominion’s data does not yet reflect Tesla’s introduction of a $35,000 version of its Model 3 sedan, its lowest-price offering yet, which is likely to lift sales. Still, falling registration totals are a worrisome sign for the company.

Hmmm something isn't being reported?
