    My father was a process engineer for 30 years, he used to freak out when I bought Super Unleaded instead of regular; so I'll be excited to see your dad's reaction to this spending plan.

    How much is long-term parking in that town? How available and inexpensive is parking when you're driving about? How do you think this will affect your credit rating when you do have to start looking for apartments?

    Ah, so two things that you may end up regretting five years down the road.

    Just kidding. I think you got enough feedback from this site as well as offline to make the decision you want. Best of luck.

    Here's a better idea. Take whatever little money you have saved up for that Model S and buy Tesla stock instead.

    Getting real for moment, I'd get the new Miata. It appears to be a fantastic car for under $30k.

    Alfa Romeo is releasing a Spider version on the same platform.

    He's parking it long-term in his dad's garage. And there is free parking in NYC.

    George does not pay for parking. :grin:

    So basically, he is going to park his car in his dad's garage and use the car as his bed as well?

    The backseat of his car, in his dad's garage :grin:

    You don't understand. A garage. I can't even pull in there. It's like going to a prostitute. Why should I pay, when if I apply myself, maybe I could get it for free?

    Lmao. Good luck! You'll need it! Handicapping yourself financially because you're a fan of some dude with a funky name and terrible vision is moronic, at best.

    He's living in his Father's Building, which has a garage. I don't think he's living in the garage.

    That's my feeling. If one of my children ten years from now drives up in a ridiculous sports car and asks for a subsidy, I'll flip.

    You wouldn't want to drive the Tesla. It would be a fair trade. Free rent in exchange for using his Tesla when you are cruising for mistresses.

    You throw a divorce in there and now it's getting really expensive!
