After weeks (months?  years?) of deliberations, number crunching, and soul searching, I finally pulled the trigger this afternoon on purchasing a new car.  Come late June, I will take possession of a brand new Tesla and will send a good portion of my paycheck to Elon Musk each month.

My last new car was purchased in November of 2008, quite a long time ago.  This new one will be a bit different, costing three times as much and not requiring gasoline.  An exciting time.
