You know, half those folks helping to rock it are standing *directly in front of the vehicle*!

So, if I charter a bus with nineteen homeless people to your neighborhood, can I be the millionaire on the bus? I'd happily foreswear all future limo rides to drive a pickup truck to the ballgame. :)

That's the problem with the Silicon Valley. I'm house poor. I could cash in and move to Idaho, but then I want a life too. So, I stay here.

Hehe, all the rich folk make it interesting up in the North Bay. Going down a street near me you can totally tell the white trash who grew up here from the ones who just bought their house for a quarter million.

a quarter million? Where are houses so cheap?

Down payment, maybe...

Would have been REAL interesting to see this thing go UP the hill...

Yeah, Jebediah is not paying attention.

In my neighborhood, little 3 BR houses sold for over $1MM this month. Where he lives away from jobs and such, $500,000 gets you a little 2-3 BR starter home.

What I did with my stock option money was to pay off my mortgage and start my own company. Well, I sold the company for half my $400,000 investment and my house doubled in value. Whatever. At least I have no debt at all.

And now I have stock options in play with three privately held companies.

Yep. Actaully probably several shafts supported by hanger bearings.

$750,000 = rich to me :(

that's $3/4 Million, which is more reasonable. Though where I am that would get you a small single family house in a reasonably nice neighborhood, not a mansion. A quarter million would get an efficiency, or maybe a one bedroom condo!

On the other hand, my area's housing market is insane.

After glatt mentioned it, I remembered reading that some of the stretch makers, start with 4 wheel drives and just use the fronts for the long ones.
It's a tradeoff because they have to get the 4x4 front end low enough for a limo.
The same article said they don't do much with the brakes.:eek6:

Heh. I don't actually know anything about limo conversions, other than they need to stiffen up the frame so they don't fold in half. I just assumed that putting in a big long driveshaft would have no advantage for most limos but would be an extra cost.

Oh shoot, I see my mistake. I mean $750,000, not $250,000. Stupid 100° temps pickle my brain.

Yea, that's better. "Efficiency Townhouses from just $399,000"
