Jay Leno on Speed (and Tesla)
In the real world I have a Porsche Carrera GT, I have a McLaren F1, and anybody that tells you they've taken those cars to 200mph is a liar. They haven't. Believe me. I did a couple of hundred laps at Talladega and the fastest I got to was 190mph — on a track. By myself. And it was scary. Nobody does those speeds on a public road. If you do, you should be in prison. The real-world fun of acceleration is between 40mph and 80mph…
How many time you've heard someone saying: "I was going over 200mph on the freeway." Now you know better.
2008 Prius
If $1,225 is all that's been holding you back from buying a new Prius, August could be your month. Toyota announced today a new expanded line-up for the 2008 Prius, and the new standard model has a low MSRP. Toyota suggests that the 2008 Prius versions sell for between $20,950 (the standard model) to $23,220 for the Touring model.
It'll be interesting to see what the MPG ratings are like with the new EPA calculations.
CEO Salaries and Compensation Explained
In 2006, Apple CEO, Steve Jobs whose official executive salary form Apple was $1, earned approximately $646 million dollars in compensation from Apple. Whereas, Forbes 2nd richest man in the world, Warren Buffet, with an estimated net worth of over 40 billion dollars, earned $100,000 as an executive salary. How are these figures determined and what does executive compensation consist of is a common question. Generally speaking, executive compensation is the keyword for how top executives of business corporations are paid.
Funny how you almost never hear of a CEO taking a pay-cut, even when a company is pink-slipping a few thousands employees.
