was that airport opened and shuttered that quickly??

there was nothing else the government could do with the facility?

seeing it on the episode was eerie.

It seems that they couldn't do anything with the facility, although I doubt that. I think it's more like "we are too lazy to do anything with it". It has only been operational for 5 years! That's what I call waste of money! I think there is a lot of mismanagement at some governments.

I get a month off and I live in the USA.

Funny, you are thus implying that there ARE governments that don't mismanage or waste taxpayer money . . . hilarious

+1 you have a point there! ;)

But there are some governments that are extremely good at it!

I've got the rest of my life "off" and I live in the USA. It's good to be the boss.

Yep, our bonus structure is a little different.

Early jJune ordered. late August deliver. But because of the August off, I need to wait until the end of September. Ughh.....

Wow. you must have bought from a dealer with a early slot open.

Hope they aren't halfway built with it, then take off and forget about a bolt...hahha

That's because you are retired SanibelSpeed :)

To the OP - you'll certainly get your dream car, albeit a month "delayed". A small price to pay but as the saying goes, when in Rome...

The same "delay" would apply to any (mainland) European sports car, that isn't rolling off a cookie cut assembly line.

The wait will be worth it when your car finally arrives.

PS. This European "entitlement" topic is far too complicated to discuss on this automotive forum, and is laced with cultural nuances and steeped in deep political roots that go way back. Unless you've actually lived it and breathed it, you would be hard pressed to appreciate its advantages and disadvantages.

So lets get back to rattles and stalls.. :)

Plenty of European places in the USA!

hopefully not.....even worse they might be drunk after the holidays and put the wrong nut in place hilarious

I thought they slowed production, but not completely stopped. My car starts production next week and is scheduled to be completed in the third week of August.

Me too
 

I guess our cars will be build twins

Loss of an entire months revenue....PLUS paying the employees wages.

Any Euro employers here that can expand on this?[/QUOTE]


The cost of goods and services is far more expensive. Many years ago in France the Socialist government came up with the brilliant idea of shortening the work week to 30 hours. The thinking was that employers would be required to hire more workers in order to fill the productivity gap. Because the cost of hiring a worker includes vacation and other miscellaneous items they would have been at a huge competitive disadvantage. So the employers passed and France's employment rate remains at 8% +/- during good times and higher during bad times. Although, things are more complicated today, the results are the same. Does this tinkering with business look somewhat vaguely familiar?
