678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

So like, as an example, Declan had basketball practice tonight and her car was already out.

And I was like, Hey, I'm just gonna take yours.

678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

And she was totally chill with it.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

She doesn't care.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

She's not going anywhere, but it would be nice that she could go somewhere if she wanted to, you know, like, whereas right.

It would have been nice for her to be able to take the Taycan or the i4 or what have you out if she needed it.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

Yeah, but then it won't be worth $28,200.

That's frustrating.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

Well, I wonder if you could code that.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

You could perhaps code the drive mode or whatever.

Anyway, so what I needed you two to do was tell me absolutely not, do not buy any new cars.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

And it sounds like you have at best told me, meh.

Well, let's just say without talking finances too much, let's just say that we do not have enough for all of college, but we have done a very good job of saving so far.
