Im bored at work, so im going to take a shot at solving this problem! Im deffinetly not a mathmatician so if i mess up, lemme know!

Lets see, we have...

7 cars
for
$725,000 (no taxes or paypal fees)
and
64,250 members (currently)


So i guess i would start by figuring out how much each member (sn) should pitch in...

$725,000 / 64,250 = $11.28

So thats not too bad, about 10 bucks to be a partial owner of 7 sick cars.

But now if we all take turns driving them, We would probably be waiting quite a while.

Lets see how much time one person could spend driving those cars in a year... Ill imagine that we would each get 10mins of seat time each time we get to take our turn....

64,250 members x 10 mins / 7 cars = 91,785 mins

So I guess every 91,785mins you would be able to take your 10min drive.

There are 525,600mins in a year.

- 525,600 / 91,785 = 5.7

Looks like we would all get to drive those cars 5.7x. Which is almost an hour of seat time over a year, all for the low low cost of $11.28!






Not sure if this is right at all... seems close, i dunno! Just needed something to do while sitting at work!
