.The Daytona 24 hours runs with the same cars barring LMP1 with no refueling regs just fine

Exactly. I commented elsewhere, on why this rule looks complicated but is pretty simple. It’s all driven by a simple safety rule whose intent was to set a minimum time for how quickly you could refuel the cars. Sounds super easy on principal to set a time limit, but then in this race series you have to handle the fact…

Yeah, it looks all funny with the equations and such, but it’s not really that complicated if you actually read it. While I don’t dispute your general premise, I don’t see anything in this example that is egregious - for safety’s sake no one wants a racing series that says “F*** it, just load that 20 gallons of fuel wi…

It’s basically the same idea, but extracts a bit more value.

So I’m 1/2 in agreement with Toobs here, there are other tax-related reasons to do it.

From the headline and picture, I thought you monsters were eating cheese and crackers with the cheese on the bottom. Took awhile for the rage to subside.

There are some other weirdly specific differences between the regular and sport turismo versions. Regular is a 2+2, ST is 2+3 seating (the middle seat in the back is not very usable).  

Yeah, seriously, that is just an invitation to reopen a whole discussion about stance...

Damn, you beat me to it.

Exactly - no one is complaining about the delay, that’s a red herring that was created by folks in the comments, projection I guess.

This. I’m still looking for the quote of someone complaining about the production being delayed. All I see is someone saying “the production was delayed and now they won’t honor my order and want to charge me $2500 more for the car (I thought) I had ordered.

Read the article again Blake. Where is someone whining about the Corvette being delayed?

Chargebacks -> agree the rider can easily do that. And then once the driver gets a few of those, they will lose the ability to take credit cards (the networks have limits on the number of chargebacks allowed per merchant).

Good catch, I was going to make a comment about how this Uber stuff in California is just a first step towards trying to unionize the drivers but I thought that was a bit too far. But seems like he is headed that direction next.

It’s some California specific bullshit, they aren’t by federal law. https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/california-gig-worker-law-AB-5.html

Yes, they would be on rock solid ground, but no paying passenger wants this alternative model that you are proposing. You might as well require only flying cars can apply.

This about sums it up. I wonder if Raphael really believes this posture? Or is it just the reality that nuance does not generate clicks? 

BTW there are some semi-legitimate reasons why this could have happened, the dealer should have been transparent with you. (so file the card dispute and figure it out later).

For a typical car loan, the dealer is earning $350 or more. They want you to finance.

He actually has the car.
