it is about the same, in buying power. look at the average cost of a house, the average cost of a corvette, and the average yearly salary of an adult male. you'll find that it is about the same ratio.

Yes, I know... But it does sound a lot better. Spoil sport.

Time to start saving up for that Tesla Model S. Pretty snazzy, but unfortunately with my commute I'd need the big battery, which bumps up the starting price to $70K!

Yeah they do! You won't even being seeing these prices. This is local to SoCal.

I'm going to have to run to my parents in the morning, grab the gas can and fill it up. It's $4.89 for premium and I'm sure it'll go up again tomorrow. Whatever does not get used by the engine will probably be no good when I try and disconnect the fuel lines at the tank. I can try and filter it though coffee filters or something.

Mebbe a dozen.

Unfortunately I don't do boobs. Just hands. My partner does boobs. I'd need to do about 100 carpal tunnels in comparison.

A refinery up in the San Fran area caught fire earlier in the Summer and two local refineries are offline due to the heat. Send some gas over!

I always wanted to be a hand model. Can I get a set of those installed?

I guess you picked the wrong area to specialize in then.

How about a long middle finger? Can come in handy in multiple situations...
