Many people (maybe even most) don't *choose* to drive a car with expensive
documentation, they already have the car and then need to buy a manual (and
then get the resulting sticker shock). Your hypothetical Ferrari driver
could reasonably expect a megabuck tag on the documentation, but how could
you suspect that the manual for an econobox like the Impreza is over a
grand, or that the 1999 Impreza manual is hundreds more than the 1998
(which it is)?
Some rookie gets protested and looses because he doesn't have the official
manual, runs to the dealer the next day to buy one, sees the price and
decides not to autocross again. I'm not sure this is the effect we want.

Definitely agree
