The Automotivist

I love cars.
I refuse to let them
keep me broke.

Every Friday I break down the car math the industry hopes you never see - before the test drive, before the finance office, before the payment feels normal.

What's inside

The car math no one shows you.

01

The Real Number

Your car payment is one line. The true monthly cost - payment, insurance, fuel, maintenance, interest - is a different number. We show you that number, every time.

02

The Reframe

What your overspend becomes in Bitcoin, the S&P, real estate, or a HYSA over 5 years. Sobering. Useful. Never a lecture.

03

The Framework

Before you buy, refinance, or trade in - a decision process built for people who love cars and refuse to be played by the system selling them.

I made every mistake first.

I grew up in my father's taxi. Fell in love with cars anyway. Bought a G35 coupe to impress people who don't remember it. Paid off a Porsche Cayenne early - expensive lesson, better math. Flipped salvage Escape Hybrids out of an auction with a $50 charger. Now I run a Tesla on home solar and invest the difference.

The Porsche 911 GT3 is still coming. Just being built the right way.

This newsletter exists because I needed it at 28 and it didn't. Every issue is the math someone should have handed me before I signed.
