Good luck Max, it’s been a fun ride.

If I lived in Europe it would be pretty high on my list, based on what I’ve seen.

I am still laughing at this.

I have but one star to give you.

That’s an interesting perspective I wasn’t thinking about. At what point do you think they should stop (bar any economic hardship) reinvesting? Obviously Amazon has become a dominant force through this practice, do you think the automotive sector can be cornered in a similar fashion?

Don’t want to fall on either ‘side’, I just want to posit some of my own thoughts and takes.

I just wish there was a more sustainable model for racing.

I don’t like throwing PP100 comparisons  for any manufacturer, but it’s hard to disagree that it can be a good indicator of reliability overall.

Wasn’t the point of GT3 to have cost caps after GT1 and GT2 began to implode? Isn’t it about everyone running homologated, BOP’d, but competitive cars? I get that increased competition breeds extra cost, but every time costs balloon, the field sinks.

I really like those wheels.

Most racing is getting hit very hard this year, which is disappointing, but unavoidable. We have bigger problems to solve.

I was really under the same impression, except they are now open. Everyday I lose a little more faith in our species.

Star for pale-ass tribe.

^^^^^^^^^^

Sounds pretty common sense to me. They’re going to take a hit, either way. I’d rather they employ more people, but who’s to say that’s right. Here we’re in the unfortunate situation of shareholders killing companies to maximize profits over a sustainable business. Looking at you, Blizzard. <_<

Ah, that was going to be my next question, how they’re exploiting it, I wasn’t sure how loose they could run. So under current law, they can have what amounts to a broom closet be claimed as their headquarters. That is some BS. This obviously isn’t an issue isolated only to EU nations, but how can this be resolved…

Clearly I’m not informed on the larger issue then, I appreciate you filling me in. So they’re using tax loopholes to maintain offices in smaller nations with more favorable taxing, while holding more of their manufacturing in the larger states?

I think this is a symptom of a larger issue going on in Germany. Sig Sauer is closing their German branch. Obviously different issues at hand, but it’s an interesting development to me.

I’m glad you’re a good sport.

Andrew, did you miss your chance on the actual Forest Service truck, and now all you can do is project that insane green to every truck you see?
