I wish my old TDI a long and prosperous life on the run. *gets teary eyed*

You are an idiot.

The Belle Isle GP wouldn’t attract half the visitors that the new arena would. Both would be the same come for an event and leave people too.

Why should anyone pay for time spent on a service job? If employee A does a job in 5 hours and employee B gets the same job done in 3 hours, how do you pay them “equally for all hours worked”?

No you shouldn’t. Lazy people shouldn’t be rewarded and competent people shouldn’t be punished. Guarantees in low volume shops are only there to keep the techs there when the work is slow. If you’re good at your job and the work is there, there is no reason you can’t be over 8 every single day.

I could see this happening at dealerships:

In my experience, I’ve never had a job take me longer than the book time even the very first time I did that job, unless it was because I stopped and took lots of breaks and counted that in my time.

And I don’t have access to anywhere near the amount of tools a true tech would have. Virtually everything I do is done…

If the dealerships aren’t being hurt then the very idea of the picketing is fairly useless. The dealerships aren’t making profit and likely will have an uneasy if not downright hostile work environment on their hands when its all over. The only ones who aren’t being hurt over this are the union stewards.

I feel like they need to be enlisting the support of the dealerships to go after the manufacturers, then.

Most mechanics I know like the current structure because they are generally able to complete the work in less time than what is called for by the manufacturer. Therefore they might be able to complete 10 hrs of work in an 8 hr day. Then again, none of them are unionized, and I have family in Chicago that has told me…

Look, page views aren’t going to generate themselves.

Your assuming he had collision insurance on what was probably a $2k car. Article makes it sound like he did not.

Thank you for mentioning LSPI. This is one thing that concerned me as well.

Looks like a custom made solid mount for a Hitachi massager for when you would rather grind than do manual work to get yourself off.

It’s the reason Pagani still makes Zondas and why not?

It’s really every manufacturer of that level.

Sounds like they like to party...

Dems are just sad they don’t make enough on stamps to get something that nice!

Why do people still refer to Trump voters as if they are some weirdo fringe? We’re not dealing with The Rent Is Too Damn High guy or even Ron Paul people. He won, bigly. Being snarky might keep the smug superiority complex alive, but it doesn’t further your legislative agenda.

As for technological details or specification specifics,..
