    Mother owns a Prius, it wouldn't end well haha
    Yup, test drove a new one. I might order a standard though. I hate automatic so so much.
    Debated it, still might. But that means less of a downsize and less free cash in my pocket.

    Building and designing a power plant.

    You do realize I'm a power engineer right? My job is to maintain and upgrade current machines? I'm just going to start my own right from the beginning.

    I think thaty I had heard that. It just seems that the money from a truck is not enough to build a power plant...at least one that I have seen. OF course, you are the engineer and would know better than I. How big is this power plant?

    The current design spec is a 4 MegaWatt plant, not large by anymeans, but thats the design I'm putting forward. Size will either be increased or decreased based on how much $ I can raise.
    I can actually get a new 2013 at like 2010 used rates, our corporate discount is that good. So I might as well.

    Ans investors yes, not partners. I plan to be sole owner.

    I think the suburb I live in has a 45 MegaWatt power plant. We have about 30-40k citizens.

    I have a friend that works with one of the worlds fastest super computers. They have a power plant just for their data center and it's 25 MegaWatts. :eek:
