Here's exactly how this 23-year-old is saving aggressively to retire at 40

When he was 14 years old, Thomas Frank learned a valuable lesson about saving money.

He wanted cash to buy a video game, so he took one of the few jobs available to someone under 16: detasseling corn.

"You're basically pulling the tops off corn. It's a very difficult job, very hard work," he says.

The truck was mounted on a test platform with its engine and drive train running to simulate an operationally-relevant test scenario.

The 2016 Chevy Camaro Definitely Looks Different

We all figured a new Camaro was on the way, and we all knew it was going to be something different. But not until this first teaser image you see here did we know just how different.

From the blurry teaser, you can see that the new Camaro loses a lot of its signature retro lines. The front end looks more aggressive— and much like a Mustang, if we’re being honest. There’s a bigger spoiler on the back, and the whole car looks much smaller than what we’re used to in a Camaro.
