Puts into perspective, our local car prices

Just took a clip from this month's local car magazine. Puts into perspective what we and some other countries in the world have to pay.

1. 93 octane gas is only $2.80 in Cali? Wow. I'd expect it to be a lot more than that.
2. All this article says to me is "Mike S is an even bigger baller than any of us thought"

"Ghost" What is that? Doesn't matter at 2 1/2 times the cost that is just insane. If it makes you feel better California Teachers are overpaid. That's like 30% more than our NW teachers average.

Your Zonda at 2.5 million will be tough to resell ...OUCH

it doesnt seem too extreme when $1 USD = 7.45 Rand.


so basically if i am doing my math right; the ghost would cost roughly $630,000 US dollars.

you can't even buy 93 - 91 is all we get and it's probably around $3.50/gallon (dunno b/c i just run 100 & don't pay attention to anything else)
