Blue line, top right corner of your post, opposite the post time. you got #100. 10 posts per page so final post on Page 10 you get the hun and an acknowledgement, on page 100 you get the Thou and a spot on the plaque. if a thread this dumb ever gets to 1,000 pages you get a kick in the nuts, that way it guarantees good entertainment for at least 100 pages but deters people from taking it too far cuz nobody wants to be post 10,000.....

Out of 100 posts I have found this the most informative.

And they took all that money to develop better sleds so they could have the edge on the competition, instead of saving a financially troubled company that would have put thousands of people out of work and burden the economy even more.

.:decision:


Not me. Did you know that BRP was once Bombardier? They borrowed money from the government once.

Is Artic Cat the Untited states only Jet manufacturer? Do they manufacturer jets or trains? Are they in the areo space industry? Are they even a Canadian company? Comparing the company Artic Cat to Bombardier is laughable.

They cant even come up with a motor on there own...LMAO

Interesting.......have you ever heard of Dodge trucks? They've been running with someone elses powerplant for years.....is that a problem?

And without government aide, I bet they couldn't afford to buy those powerplants from those engine manufacturers. Who knows, maybe they would have a blue oval on the front now...

Well, it seems that some of the guys on here seem to think it is a weak link when a company uses components from other manufacturers. I am willing to bet that many of those same guys drive a Dodge truck with a Cummins in it. Kind of ironic.

Many, many companies use outside sources in their manufacturing....so what?

And yes, Bombardier is a MASSIVE company, much bigger than Arctic Cat. Hell, BRP is a huge company compared to Arctic Cat. BRP has 6500 employees....Cat, maybe 1500?

I hate to say it again but Cat is building their company solely on company profits and investments.....no govt subsidies to prop them up when they were down.
