Profit isn't allowed.. How dare any vendor make even one dollar from providing services for a Porsche.

Jake, I am one of your supporters. IMHO, you're occasionally a little overly defensive - perhaps one too many trolls.

My point was that the aspect of profit, which any business is obviously entitled to, is wholly dependent on what that business wants to charge. Some would put a nominal amount on it (perhaps because they're doing lots of work), while others may want to charge what they think the market will bear.

Not a comment disparaging your business practices.

I've been involved with at least 6 different markets within the automotive industry and a couple in the Aviation industry.. I've never worked with a group that was so "Vendor hateful" as the modern Porsche following..EVERYTHING the vendor does or offers is only to support some lavish lifestyle that the following falsely believes exists.
