Yes. Compartmentalizing profit centers is a short-sighted mistake. Even if Chevy lost $5k in directly traceable costs on each ZR1, I'll bet someone could argue the halo and the R&D still ended up beneficial to the business as a whole.

No matter how careful you are, SOMEONE out there isn't.

Fastest way around a curve has non-zero slip angle, but it ain't dorifto.

Is it legal to laugh at that?

I think one word we can all agree on, however, is "ridiculous."

Much the same, yes. However, there is an important distinction between actively helping others and passively not harming others.

Actually Socrates and the Greeks only stated it in the negative form: Do not do to others what you would not want done to you.

Excellent choice of words. Predictability is key.

Come up with a very rigorous competition ruleset for "Formula C" where the "C" is for courtesy.

You mean mock-carbon "shift" knob.

what is this i dont even
