So the difference is the cost of the product and not the principle?
I think Manson is selling sef-portrait pencil sketches on index cards. $5 apiece. Get 'em while they're hot!

But in a way, when a product becomes so expensive that it isn't affordable for the average person, where do we draw the line? Especially when the (in this thread/example) the most recent price jump was so that a company could get their name on a car?
I realize that we all have the right to refuse to buy, I know. But if I like the product, could afford the product easily last year, and the price jumps up $50-100 the next year... Its going to make me want to not buy that product.
But, lets not get into this again. I stayed out of the last one, so...

NASCAR racing is a lot more than a series of left turns. It's a chess game on wheels.
And I suppose the drivers are "Athletes".

If I remember correctly I think Mathews also sponsored a lower Nascar series car briefly or something like that,

I'll refrain, too, Dan. Have a good weekend.

No. I don't consider them "athletes". "Athleticism" as an advantage? Sure. Who are you talking about, specifically? As I sit here....I'm having trouble recalling anyone like the Bakers and Pearson types in the "sport", today.
But....it's easy to make fun of something you know little or nothing about.

Remember that next time someone watches a kid sit 200yds form a deer in a box blind (heated, of course)and shoot a 170" buck over a feeder on a 58deg. morning hunt (first day of).....inside a high fenceon TV......and asks you if that's the way you "Hunt".
It's hunting, right? That's what you do, right?
