    Oh I love this. I’m going to hit my coworker that loves showing off his car with “goat cheese is more expensive per/lb than your car!” Lol

      I don’t think it’s recommended that you eat a whole roquefort at once. The Ferrari even less so.

      In the states there is a soft cream cheese like cheese simply called “goat’s cheese”, I am guessing that is the cheese to which they refer.

    “Porsche isn’t worth its weight in cheese!”

    [receives call] Hello. Oh. It is? Just barely beats Roquefort. Well, fact checking’s your job, Steve. Fine. [click]

    “Roquefort is the Porsche of cheeses!”

    For funsies I calculated the Price per Pound for the M1A2 SEPv3 tank, which worked out to be about $163/lb. I guess it make sense that it’s at the super car range haha

        Once again using Wikipedia numbers for the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, with a cost of $5.5 billion in 2024 dollars and a displacement of 101,600 long ton (227584006.38 lbs), that works out to be $24.16 if my math is correct.

    lol i never realized the Ford F-150 Lightning was cheaper per pound than the standard F-150 considering that the lightning is heavier. Also wild that I’ve eaten cheese that was worth more than a RAV4 per pound lmao

      Might depend on the trim. Unless pricing has changed recently, a Lightning in the basic work truck trim is less expensive than a comparable gas engine work trim with the same size cab, bed, and 4WD. Usually only companies buy that trim, though.

    Now I kinda want a cat brand where all the cars are named after cheeses.

    Edit: I meant car brand, but I’m leaving it because it’s funny.

    OK, but I’d like to see some information on depreciation before I make a purchase decision.
