    Fact. No bank gives 10%+ interest in US DOLLARS. You'll get paid in your own currency 10%+ maybe. They pay such higher interest because of rampant inflation. In Turkey I can get 14% interest on the TURKISH LIRA, but if I want a US DOLLAR bank account in Turkey, They'll give 4% Tops.

    Uhh not sure if this has been resolved yet, but that guy in Bangladesh is not getting 13% in US Dollars. He might be getting 12% in his domestic currency. Current inflation rates in Bangladesh are 7%, so he is getting 5% real interest at best... and even that seems far too high. I'm willing to bet actual inflation rates are higher than the 7% official rate.

    If I could find a real bank paying 13% interest I would retire now... I'd just take huge 5-8% loans from every bank and put it in the 13% bank ; )

    Am I right in thinking you spent $160,000 on a car, But you have a house which is probably worth about the same?

    Our banks (australia) are giving around 8%, with it tipping to go higher after the central raise rates to counter the higher then expected cpi

    if you have got $160k then i gues you must be making atleast 3 times of the money you paid, which is my guess. you are a good inspiration for many here :) I wish you all the best :)

    Nope. I dont even own a house or an apartment. I dont live where those pics were taken either. That is in Scotland, I guess those houses are probably worth about £100-150k.

    Unsure of the conversion but you get about 10 miles per gallon.

    Just did a quick search on Google and I found this :

    1 Gallon - 3.78 Litres
    1 mile - 1.6 km

    So , 16 km - 3.78 litres which means 23.6 Litres per 100 km (omg)

    You must have a container full of benzine attached to it :)

    EDIT : How much do you pay for insurance ?

    That is a lot of money for insurance. Though I heard when the Diablo's were around you were looking like $20,000 a year. I don't know though and I more then likely never will know because I won't own a car like that.
