Bad math. 60000 miles at 0.85 CENTS/mile would be about $510 for those tires. Not great for a small car, but much less than you'd spend for a larger car or something that requires performance tires.

Whether or not he pays property tax on his car is going to depend a lot on what state he lives in. Some do have this.
Since it's a SALT flat, I think it's a safe bet that it's tied up in lithium chloride or some other SALT.
I think that's exactly the point they're trying to make. The prey overheats and stops before the man dehydrates.
NYC is in the Boston to Washington corridor.
Not if you're beaming all that energy down to Earth anyway. It still ends up as waste heat (minus some losses outside the atmosphere, before someone gets pedantic).
Well, laceration is an English word, but if it makes you feel any better, doctors around here were forced to stop using Latin abbreviations on prescriptions a few years ago. For anyone not familiar, there used to be commonly used Latin abbreviations for things like "take twice a day".
That's not at all what I'm describing. In my example, the company has more than enough assets to cover the spread, but they're not being kept as cash. Non cash assets take a little time to be made liquid. The money could be kept as a larger cash reserve, but that means a lower return than if they could just leave it invested and borrow money from someone else for a day or two.
Go look at the balance sheet for a large company. For example, MSFT. MSFT has billions and billions of dollars in reserve assets, yet they still borrow money now and then. They do it because it makes more sense than constantly yanking money out of other investments to cover a one day cash shortfall.
