Absolutely no question about that. But "raise the corporate tax rate" is the wrong answer to that problem. Closing the tax structure loop holes and exemptions is what they're really after. And that's a legislative problem. Which means they should be protesting the government, as nearly everyone has pointed out...

The fail continues. Did you actually see the sign in the lead photo, then read my responsive post? If you weren't in such a hurry to tell me how wrong I was, you would've noticed that the morons in the picture are talking about corporate tax, and my responsive post addresses the error in their "thinking" as to

Looks like we're a very marginal 2nd there, ace.

They might as well write "we're all morons" on their sign. US corporate tax rate is, what, highest or 2nd highest in the world? I forget. Anyway, making the rate higher would be highly successful in shifting yet more jobs overseas, and I know everyone in OWS is in favor of less jobs.

I've yet to read anything at all saying that Tavo/FTP are having any trouble with Dorna or V8 Supercars. I can only assume, then, that they hold those contracts or at least have some sort of prospective agreement on the table.

Porsche Panamera GTS: still ugly and awkward, now more ostentatious.

Not the point.

You missed the point. The point is that a breach with one party on one contract has no effect on the others. IE, just because he's in breach w/ F1 has no bearing on MotoGP or V8s, particularly because it sounds like a money issue, and the sanctioning fees are many times lower for those other two.

Stick with me for a moment. This car was in continuous production for something like 60 years! The version they sell today, overall, is only very slightly visually different. And, they still make very expensive racing versions called Pour-shas.

Absolutely this. The E-type is timeless.

Track funding is separate, so far as I've heard. And Chairman Kaga is wrong, Tavo's relationship with F1 has no bearing on the other two series. The other series don't require giant upfront millions, plus both are an additional year away. So even if F1 is out for this year, it's not like they're going to just

He's only out of the picture with F1. The other two series don't rob you blind before granting a contract.

Having no promoter is a pretty legit problem. Maybe the track owners will pull it together without a promoter, but that'd be a pretty impressive feat. Bernie is obviously using the media to try and pressure them to speed them up, but nonetheless, they've got some big bucks to put up in a very short amount of time.

This thing is absolutely dead now, as far as I can tell. The promoter's primary job is to pay large sums of cash, up front. That's what buys the contract with the sanctioning body to actually host the race at a venue. Then, depending on the arrangement, often times the promoter also pays the venue whatever amount

I prefer the trains, myself, which may or may not often contain school buses and RVs. Hilarity ensues when half an RV body is taken off by a collision.

Approved

Figure eight racing. Where rednecks pay to watch other rednecks purposefully try to nearly kill each other in late model Detroit iron.

I highly doubt that, actually. Physically, it's not much bigger. The cockpit is roomier. It has a pretty nicely-sized trunk, which is much more than can be said for the Fiat. Grab a hard top or soft top and it's all-weather. A/C and heat are typical on most builds. And actually, since it's a steel tube frame

Interesting? Maybe. What kind of cash payouts are we talking? If they aren't very substantial, this will still be a massive financial loser for competitors. Which is fine if you've got money to burn on racing, like, say, Rick Hendrick, but for everyone else, the $25k is just the vehicle. A true minimum buy-in is

I'm in the same boat all the way around, except I have no engineering skills so I'll just have to buy someone else's design.
