A Money Making Game

How much is it to participate in Formula One? I guess it will cost you hell lots of money. And if you cheat in this game, it will cost you a lot, too.

Official Formula One News
"McLaren have been excluded from the 2007 constructors’ championship and fined US$100 million following Thursday’s FIA World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) hearing in Paris. "

100 million US dollars...........@@"

Questions: WMSC fined McLaren US$100 million, but how is WMSC going to use this big fat check? Where will this money be spent on by WMSC?

"Drivers Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton have not been penalized and are free to continue their fight for the drivers' title."

Ah Ha~ here we go~! At the end, it is not about the athletic discipline. It's all about money making!!! To be fair, I would say that drivers should be suspended for the entire season. However, if these two drivers, currently ranked in 1st and 2nd, are out of the game this year, F1 will be seriously boring to be watched. Without any surprise, McLaren decided to stay in the game even though they are fined for 100 mils. Running a F1 team apparently can make more than 100 millions; I meant a lot more!! 100 million US dollars, a big deal to me; a small potato for F1 teams.

金金計較

Approximate Cost for Having a Car

Daily Driving Distance: 50 km
Gas Mileage: 10km/Litre
Assume 1L of gas is $1.00
Daily Gas Cost: 50km / 10km *$1.00 = $5.00
Annual Gas Cost: $5.00*365 Days = $1,825/year

Car Maintenance: $62.00/ every 4 months
Major Car Maintenance: $220 every 12 months
Annual Car Maintenance Cost: $62*2 + $220 = $344 (2 regular maintenance & 1 major maintenace)
Natural Wear and Tear(Brakes & Tires): $250/year
Maintenance Subtotal: $250+$344 = $594/year

Insurance(based on 5% discount every year):
Year 1: $2,700
Year 2: $2,565
Year 3: $2,430.00
Year 4: $2,295.00
Year 5: $2,160.00
Year 6: $2,025.00
Year 7: $1,890.00
Year 8: $1,755.00
Year 9: $1,620.00
Year 10: $1,485.00
Subtotal: $20,925
Annual Insurance Subtotal: $20,925/10 years = $2,092.5/year

Car Value Depreciation:
Bought at $27,000
Assume it worth 1/3 of the original price = $9,000 after 10 years
Depreciation = $27,000 - $9,000 = $18,000
Annual Depreciation: $18,000/10 years = $1,800/year

Total Annual Cost: $1,825 + $594 + $2,092.5 + $1,800 = $6,311.5/year or $525.96/month

- Estimate with an accuracy of +/- 20%

Monthly Cost for Having a Car = $421 ~ $631 or $5,050 ~ $7,570

Comments:
Jesus Christ, that's expensive...............
And holy cow, I am lucky.......................

* This estimate assumes the followins:
- Parking is free
- Zero accident
- No car break-in or whatsoever damage on the car
- Constant Gas Price

Joke of the Day

An engineer was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess."

He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me, and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week."

The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket. The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you and do ANYTHING you want."

Again, the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket. Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, and that I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?"

The engineer said, "Look, I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend... but a talking frog, now that's cool!"

"犁田"

今天狀況還真多

讓我懷疑是不是因為 Friday the 13th 搞的鬼

下班回家後~ Rossland 刮起大風~

氣象說有 Server Thunderstorm

上網上到一半給我停電~ 因為也差不多晚餐時間了

所以我就跑下山去吃麥當勞當晚餐

還好回到家後電就來了~ 不過外面不止刮風~還開始下起了雨

本來想說出去騎一下 Mountain Bike 的說

不過下了半個小時~風雨就停了

我在家太無聊呆不住~於是八點多出發出去騎車~

想說騎下山再騎上來~

誰知道才剛要下山~就在一個 180 度的彎 "犁田"

我想說腳踏車要靠邊騎比較安全~誰知道彎道邊緣都是沙子和小石頭

速度也還好~沒很快~不過後輪就是抓不住~就這樣甩出去了

跌倒後和之前滑雪下巴降落一樣~完全麻掉沒什麼感覺~

於是我就拍拍屁股爬起來看了一下~手肘還好小擦傷

不過我的蘿蔔也破了皮~然後一直滴.............

真是衰.......

Wang on the iPhone Commercial

今天在看 MLB All-Star Game 時看到王建民的名字出現在 Apple iPhone 的廣告裡
畫面是用 iPhone 上網~ 在 The New York Times 的網站上看到頭條新聞的照片
照片裡是一群台灣人拿著旗子, 旗子上寫著 "台灣之光王建民"!!
iPhone 在打廣告同時~王建民的名字也出現在畫面上~雖然老外可能都看不懂用中文寫的"台灣之光王建民"
不過我還是想講~王建民~你實在太利害了!!

Evely Campground

Evely Campground
During the Canada Day long weekend, we went to Evely Campground in Kelowna. It's about 15 minutes driving distance north of Fintry Provincial Park.

這個Campground只有野外廁所沒水沒電~不過它的Campground都是靠著Okanagan Lake旁就等於是在湖邊露營超正點的!!
