Is there anyone left at AC to fire, or will they be spared, despite TSV being one of the losers?

C2c is only interested in their windshield and 720 cylinder divisions.

I'm going to rehire the seat foam guy first, then fire all the Alaskan engineers from the clutching dept

Facepalm anyone who thinks the employees are buying cat.  People just say dumb shit without thinking about what they're saying.

They need to add about 100 dealers.

That would have been started months before textron announced shutting down.

Funny/surprising they went through with it, must have already cashed the checks, and shipped the parts/tool orders

maybe he doesn't understand that the bulk of property in the lower 48 where these 'shitty trails' are is actually private and we're allowed to legally trespass with our machines on that ribbon between the markers because of the goodness of said property owners and the hard working volunteers who make it possible.  

next year there needs to be some sort of an odometer challenge where douchenozzle posts a picture of his speedometer with his current mileage at the beginning of the season and the end of the season? 

 @Not greg b has likely put more miles on his sled than he has this winter.  frankly I don't believe he's actually in Alaska but that's an entirety different worm hole.  

He doesn't own a sled so there is no odometer to take a pic of.

It was slow to get rolling but the ACTR idiots are finally conspiring over this troll post I threw in there.

Is this why all the cat dealers started picking up Kawasaki off road recently? It couldn’t have been because of cat’s shitty offerings.

My dealer is offering 2 - 3k off on the higher end sleds. Got quite a few 24's and a lesser number of 25's. Going to be interesting to see how the 26's pan out for numbers. One would think that Poo should let the current inventory get flushed out. If I was the boss I would only build snow check sleds for 26.

kinda shows the margins on our toys is juicy...

if I were any of the manufacturers at the moment, spring orders only would be implemented... with a sizeable deposit.

so, how much profit margin do you believe is in a new $16k or $20k sled for the manufacturer?

Divide msrp by 4 and that will get you close.

I have no idea.  But what they're discounting them to move them doesn't mean anything.  That's using false logic.  You act like it's impossible for a company to sell product at a loss.

Theres more than that for the manufacturer.

On one hand you say no it doesn't and on the other hand you say you don't know.

Try to keep up with what is being discussed.  I commented on two different things.  

A discounted price to move units in no way shows the margins.  That doesn't mean I know the margins, just that I follow logic.
