Let me offer a small piece of advice to my G+ followers, do not armor-all to the treads of your tires

Tire treads are not supposed to be shiny.  I would assume that the owner of this otherwise lovely 1967 +Ford Motor Company  #Mustang doesn't generally drive in the rain, but even on dry pavement, this is not good for traction. This is especially true if you have installed a more modern fuel injected 5.0-liter HO V8.

Snake & Mongoose

Back in the late '90s net bubble days, tech startups selectively stated earnings

Remember "pro-forma" earnings when Silicon Valley companies would ignore all kinds of items to make it look like they were making a profit right up until the moment they filed for bankruptcy? That's kind of what +Tesla Motors did yesterday.

Unlike those bygone net companies like WebVan and Pets.com, #Tesla is a real business and may well reach real sustained profitability at some stage. It's just not quite there yet. 

The real news today is that Tesla lost $30.5 million
A closer look at Tesla’s ledger reveals the news isn’t as rosy as the headlines say. The company posted a net loss of $30.5 million last quarter, and that’s the real story.
