So we should eliminate protest bonds altogether?
Or set a common "engine teardown" bond that ignores that shop rate on a
Ferrarri is a bit higher than shop rate on a Celica?
Bull. You wanna protest, put your money where your mouth is or shut the
hell up and drive faster.
And in the $2k porsche example, the entire point of all this is that
rather than paying $2k to get the information, you pay shop rate for the
dealer to look it up. The _PC_ sets the bond amount, not the competitor,
so you won't have people financing FSM's when they get protested.
