The Crock of @#$% Report v.017

July 23, 2015
Ferrari IPO could come by end of year

"Ferrari controls the number of cars it produces, so they have power to set prices."

1. Every company on this planet controls the amount of goods and services it produces. Every single one.

2. If that's all it took to have the power to set prices, then we would have a never ending stream of global hyperinflation.

The Illusion of Prosperity Burger Cafe

Attention customers. Due to the rising popularity of our gourmet burgers made from only the healthiest and freshest ingredients, in combination with our desire to have more free time to pursue outdoor recreational interests, we will be limiting our burger production for the remainder of the summer. Our new restaurant hours will be 1pm to 2pm on Wednesdays. We will be creating a single exclusive burger each week. One and only one customer will have the privilege and honor of eating it. Since our power to set prices is based on having complete control over our production, the burger will be sold at a minimum price of $100,000. An additional fee of $20,000 will grant you full access to the condiment bar, where you will find a single exclusive whole onion handpicked by our master chef, a cutting board made from premium hard maple, and a top of the line J.A. Henckels' stainless steel knife second to none. Nothing but the best for our weekly customer! Bon appétit!

Troy,

I too loved the look of the RX-7. Saw one cheap late at night on a used car lot in the late 1980s and gave serious thought to buying it.

Drove by the next day to see it again. The paint job, in the daylight, offered an indication why it was cheap, lol.

Wasn't meant to be anyway. At 6'3" I would have been jammed in there like a sardine in a can no doubt. Oh, well.

Doesn't change the fact that it turns my head every time I see one though.

I should probably mention the paint job. There were serious smoke marks on the hood, as if there might be or might have been a few problems with the, as you put it, nightmare of an engine to maintain, lol.
