Thanks for the info.
I confess I don't follow him. Yeah, makes sense he'd be a VP potential.
As far as our car-based transportation system, I saw this post recently:
---------
Avg car payment is 775 per month
Avg insurance is 225 per month
Avg car maintenance is 70 a month
Avg miles per month is 1k at 25 mpg or 40 gallons per month which equates to about 150
So the AVERAGE car cost per month is 1,220
THATS NUTS
---------
Numbers may be high, but we burn way too much of our income on cars.
I'm not ready to be carless in the US. But if I moved to Asia I might not own one.
