Mike Maloney's roadster totalled

[wycolo]

>That roadster is totalled, as the frame is bent. Even with a good mechanic and a full set of heating and repair tools, don't expect to see this one back on the road... at least any time soon. [W.Petefish]

But its got 'everything your Uncle John needs' for his dream Subaru Forester/Tesla conversion.

Despite the car crash, (glad he survived) I am more interested in his "rhetoric".

Sounds like he and the author of After shock both believe that the end is near. (Not the 2012 Maya calendar kind of "end".)

I am interested that, given that many forum members here must be of above average incomes, independently wealthy or both; especially those who live off interest ... is anyone concerned?

Anyone have an idea of where this crash happened?

Now that will take the thread off-topic in a hurry. I'll just observe that it's odd to be extolling how Tesla is the future, and yet at the same time he predicts a massive economic collapse that will surely destroy most companies including Tesla. There's some kind of clanging disconnect there.

And here we go...
There are ways to rectify these seemingly disjoint ideas. One simple approach is "Tesla is the future, along the path we're on now; but I think the path we're on now is at risk given highly probable economic collapse worldwide".

Concerned? Yes.... I'm turning my financial assets into hard goods, and attempting to reduce running costs. Like, replacing $100K in the bank with an electric car, which I think will be more valuable than numbers in a bank after a major economic collapse.

So, what disconnect? It's all consistent.

It will probably come up for auction soon.

He says Santa Monica Mountains. Probably lives there.

I resisted the urge, this time, to go virtual driving in street-view looking for background match...

I'm disappointed.

I'm disappointed.

That may be Mandeville Canyon Road if you want to look!

 

[vfx]

Could be Topanga, Mulholland or Cornell.

 

[TEG]

I'm disappointed.

Sigh... OK, I found it... Looks like a bad corner with signs that someone else left a memorial there for a previous accident.

From http://www.buysilver.org/online-dealers/goldsilver-com-review/

With their projections of massive upheaval followed by a utopian period of peace ushered in by adoption of precious metal coinage, they add a certain uniqueness and color to the site that is sometimes lacking in those websites which are little more than online catalogs.

So where's the Google Maps link?

I just added one at the bottom...


By the way, I think his car may have been one of the last (or even the last) of the 2.0s before they switched to 2.5 body style.

 

[vfx]

Unbelievable.

I recognized the Coast and Canyon Real Estate building in the background and I still could not find it.

TEG is a phenom.

The only websites I browse nowadays are macroeconomics sites and TMC. So yes, I'm extremely concerned. In book form, this is coloring my current thinking: Amazon.com: Endgame: The End of the Debt Supercycle and How It Changes Everything (9781118004579): John Mauldin, Jonathan Tepper: Books

Nice sleuth work. Don't know why it mattered to me.
On a side note, this near miss heralded an unfortunate loss. Bob Odegaard, a pilot and WWII aircraft restorer, crashed practicing for an airshow in ND on Friday. We lost Bob and one of 2 flying Super Corsairs. There were only 5 Super Corsairs ever built, of course there was only one Bob.
I've been involved with the aircraft restoration community for a few years and Bob's knowledge and personality will be greatly missed by everyone.
