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

Well what the fuck, where’d @krom go? I’m standing at the parts counter  ringing the little bell. I don’t see him anywhere? #coward #littlebitch  

There’s 6 catalysts, a prowler pro and a 600 altered in the showroom as of this morning. Oh and everything is from other dealers who couldn’t move them, besides 2 demo catalysts and a used one. Also 20+ 2025 Tcats and 600 catalysts outback waiting to get picked up.

So around 30 machines for both snow and dirt.
You don’t get out much do you? The dealers up here stock in the 100’s. 
 

Krom’s pissant little dealer has neither the floor space nor land available to store more than 30 machines.

the No. 1 sales state was again Minnesota, with 6,630 units, while Wisconsin came in second with 5,847.   New York in third place – with 4,826, and  4,358 in Michigan.

Your pissant dealer sells shit compared to the typical dealers in AK. Why the hell would anyone buy a sled in New York when you don’t get any snow?

Wow old man, your whole public ignoring proclamation of me lasted a whopping couple days. 

Hate to say it as the Alaska fuck is a true idiot, but he makes CRM? Two many letters look like a fucking dipshit. Well, that was always known. I retract my earlier opinion.

Still waiting on a response from Cat. I need to give the dealership a call because apparently they are operating in at least a limited capacity

Cat has probably froze all shipments to them and put them on pre payment before they ship anything else

Yeah I thought I saw them update and dispell some of the stupid Internet rumors and said they'd be somewhat back open this week 

Sled shipments are up to the floor plan company. 

By the sounds of it the local banks won't be too keen on fronting them money for the units.

So unless they have the cash, those sleds are going to the nearest dealer of customers choosing.

That is all assuming that they actually ordered the sleds, and paid their statement this spring

They way wells has been the last 12 months, they won’t release any funds if there is a question of financial. They have also been holding up shipments because of old inventory the dealer still has 

Dealer says it's business as usual and sled is slated to ship end of October

I'm thinking they found another bank to refinance their debt and keep things moving.

of course they are going to say that,have to try to keep $$ coming through the door, but doesn't it actually depend on the oct 9th ruling??

"Lakeside's accounts are currently frozen, according to the lawsuit.

Along with the lawsuit, Union Bank also requested a Temporary Restraining Order to prevent Lakeside from selling, trading, or destroying its inventory. The bank says part of its loan agreement allows it to take ownership of many of the company's vehicles and boats. Those vehicles were listed as collateral, but the bank worries they could be moved off the property and hidden.

Judge Ronald Schafer granted the restraining order.

Arguments on whether the order should be turned into a more permanent injunction are scheduled for October 9."

There's a couple other options within a half hour of me, fortunately.

Look at the position arctic cat was in with pwc 25 years ago and it was loosing money and was canned. 25 years later they are in the same boat with the snowmobiles. Market size around 100k and single digit market share. Not good
