haha, sure, but the rotory has been around for decades and rx cars have been sold for decades. its very rare in the auto industry for a company to not be able to recoupe R&D cost on a line that has been successful enough to have existed for decades. actually its not very rare, it just dosnt happen. you are just being technical because in the long run it turns out to be just what I said. price is adjusted dynamically as R&D cost alters.

You think too hard and have problems with real world accounting mr. playdoh43. FYI R&D is an intagible asset. It creates future value. ALL intangibles are future oriented. Intangibles increase in value when used. The problem is that declaring a value on intagibles is a very hard task because there is no evidence by financial transactions.

hope this helps

actually, you would like to think that I feel that my oppinions are facts, I sure dont feel they are facts at all, just my oppinions. you really are getting riled up, intead of advancing your argument, you are just nit picking and providing nothing that rebute my argument or strenthen your argument.

All in all im glad and impressed that we are able to keep this friendly and cool without resorting to childish name calling. Im just here voicing my oppinion man, not trying to give you a heart attack. I didnt realize I was really getting you on the edge like that man, I appologiaze

now have a 7? always got a 7, rotary for life. i will represent and carry the rotary torch for as long as they are around.

just need to get an SA22C or an FB3S along with a 20b RX-3 wagon or coupe project to finish out my complete Savanna collection. unfortunately a recent FD purchase whiped me clean of any funds whatsoever and the extra "car" money i get(not for a long time though haha) will go to a GT35R system for my drift FC.

all the cars are currently stock though, so don't go off on how "rich" i am
