My first really powerful PC cost me close to $12,000 in the late 80's or early 90's, today most people would laugh at that price for a PC.

Yes, I am an OLD Fart and proud of it!

I can build a 12k PC very simply. Its a little outrageous now but... it would be a amazing machine.

I understand where your coming from. It will take decades untill I think a pure electric sports car becomes affordable to the middle class.

Thanks, for the words of encouragement, I thought the senility was really starting to set in.
What was I saying, I forget. Is it time again for my meds again?







Help! I've fallen and I can't get up.

The sports car can never really go extinct. Wonder if a “greener version” will be able to pump up the adrenaline as effectively?

You do realise that the Audi E-tron could well be a rotary!
They have talked of having a single rotor small wankel running at a fixed 5k revs powering the battery....

RX9 anyone...hahaha
