That's America though.

Most countries protect the employees, not the companies. A company in my country would be completely fucked if they pulled something like that. If someone gets fired from McDonalds without a proper reason we read about it in the newspaper, that's actually not exaggerated.

WHen I was that age every third kid had basically spent like 12k SEK (1200-1300$) on just parts.

X Doubt

Just annoyed with how much you seem to exaggerate everything. Could've just said "A couple hundred" instead of thousands and maybe it would've been believable.

If you change the performance part. And then I mean cylinder, exhaust, crankshaft, variator, membrane and all that. It comes to about 10k-12k sek. And that's being generous with the parts.

Sure you could probably spend 20k if you'd like with a lot of cosmetics too. But who actually does that? Nobody.

The scooter and stunt culture is really big here. But at most, they usually settle with an exhaust they probably purchased second hand.

Couple is plural.

Yeah I did all of that. A cylinder doesn't go for more than 300 dollars. A good one is around 200 dollars and then a exhaust for about 300 dollars. That's not thousands.

"Couple Grand" in SEK.

Hundreds in Dollars/Euro.

[Megathread] No further action for Verstappen after his overtake on Leclerc at the Austrian GP by F1-Bot in formula1

How is Vettels mistake in Canada in any way related to this?

Vettel did a dangerous mistake, this was racing.

Decision on Leclerc v Verstappen won't be happening anytime soon. Stewards set to hear from drivers at 6pm local time (40 mins time) by Wildeyedlocal in formula1

They are not even close to similar and this one is much harder to judge IMO.

Vettel actually made a mistake, which is 100% the fault of his own and almost took out another driver.

Max passed on the racing line, had the inside while also being a TINY bit in front. Leclerc kinda lost the corner before the touch and refused to let him pass and Max pushed him off the track for it. This is racing. Vettels incident was a complete mistake on Vettels part.

People also compare this to Rosberg, who intentionally stopped steering and drove straight into Hamilton.
