Topic: Ok JUDGES - Who owes Who a Toaster? Porsche 928 VS Mercedes S600
Before the race my crew cheif, "Pendejo", and "Icemang17" of the 928 team made some kind of vague bet about which car would:
A) Last the longest
B) Have the highest value adjusted for inflation based on original MSRP
As you know our S600 can't be beat for "B" with an MSRP of $135K in 1995 ($200K adjusted for inflation).
However "A" has been the source of some contention. "Pendejo" insists that the S600 wins "A" since althought it missed 4 hours of racing on Saturday due to the "Heroic Fix" coolant hose repair it did run all day Sunday and took the checkered flag. It never permanently broke and finished the race. On the other hand "Icemang17" insists his 928 wins "A" since he actually completed more laps than the S600 despite breaking permanently on Sunday and not taking the checkered flag.
So, Judges (and others who care to express an opinion) who wins this one? I think we have four options:
1) 928 owes S600 a Toaster
2) S600 owes 928 a Toaster
3) Nobody owes anyone a toaster
4) Both teams have to buy eachother a toaster
For you lawyer types here is the text of the somewhat vague original bet:

So what are you bringing...it does sound electrically challenged like the 928...so it should be a fair fight......
but what shall we wager...... hmmmm something "electrical"....
Pendejo wrote:
We either wager pinks or a toaster. I am hoping the toaster because we know it will work.
As far as what we are bringing that remains a hush hush subject but you will know it when you see it. all 4800 lbs of it..

OKay you have a BET......BUT it has to work like this......if the 928 lasts longer...then you have to buy me a GERMAN toaster......if the Jag lasts longer then I have to buy you a BRITISH toaster.........since a simple chinese one would be too easy and actually work.... how does that sound?

Sounds like i am gonna get a toaster!!! You are going to lose on two counts. Yours will die before ours and you are going to lose the most devalued Lemons car ever. I know it is harsh but i have a craigslist addict on my side who is on that like a day trader on a penny stock.
