Yes, but I've never had an IRA.

Those that I know who could do #2, I'm not comfortable asking them to buy a car for me.

I could work two full time jobs I guess, which might bring my tax liability up high enough, although I should have started that back in January as I won't have enough time for this year.

With the Colorado $5,000 incentive a Chevy Bolt could be around $15,000 after all incentives. But next year Chevy Bolt production is being cut.
