Cars, etc.

Wow -- what a car. If you guys can just make Back to the Future a reality and get some upstart dot-com to pony up a few million shares of escalating stock, you two+ could all have one after the restrictions expire.

Not likely to find these puppies at the local tire shop:

Tires - Front axle: 265/30R19, Rear axle: 335/30R20

I'd bet that these tires last only 10K-15K miles, if that, and that assumes they are babied. Leave a little rubber on the road a few times and new tires could be a monthly expense. Probably not too big a deal though: probably not much more than around a grand each.

Cross Texas trip -- under four hours (plus time stopping for tickets):

Top speed - Over 200 mph (330 km/h).
Acceleration - 0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) under 4 seconds and 0-120 mph (0-200 km/h) under 10 seconds.

Not much point in finding out the price: there is zero chance it comes in my size.

This may be close to what the inside looks like:
