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

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.

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.

I think this line's mostly filler.

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.

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.

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.
