      Teamgeist although they made that car purposely worse than they actually could, they had the means to do it better, and the skills, but they chose not to, so some people would buy the f430 only because they didn’t have the money to afford the scuderia. “They deliberately made the f430 worse than they know that they could” so they can have a car for poor people and a car for rich people, just like the cheese for poor people and the “good cheese” which is more expensive but tastes a little better

    • @seventh-hydra
      @seventh-hydra Před 3 lety +2

      @Teamgeist Yeah but... Dairy producers *do* do this.
      Aside from the aforementioned Sainsbury's, there's also major brands like Cabot, Tillamook, and Sargento that do this. It's not a matter of 'a different type of cheese', it's literally just having the same cheese, but better. There's also Kroger/Private Selection and the Tesco/Tesco's Finest thing. Same producer, different quality.
      Artisan/Small Batch producers do this all the time, too. It's the same with Whiskey and Wine as well.

    I feel like half of James' role in Top Gear is him falling over followed by Jeremy and Richard laughing. It's a winning formula

    The long, loaded silence while May stalks out the door and around the corner before he utters one single, heartfelt “FUCK!” so venomous it can still be heard over the bleep. That’s the content we live for.
