[DeTomaso] Would you race if you could rent a Pantera?

[Dave Londry]

Another example Laurie
Our local (Vancouver BC) independent BMW repair-shop rents out race cars.
They use the business to fill unbooked shop hours.
When a tech is free they always have a work-order ready on maintenance 
of one of the race cars
or on a tear-down for a "new" one.
