See, even if you can afford a car like that, there's nowhere to let it stretch its legs.

Just think of how many modified civics that would buy

Apparently he gets speeding tickets all the time. He drives a Ferrari out of there once in a while too, except this is one of the "big" tickets I guess. Sooner or later he won't be able to drive.

Hes a good guy. One day suprised the whole plant and shut it down! Only to take them to Buffalo in a rented bus for the Bills game. The bus was too full so he took some people in his Bently. He parked it illegally and it was towed and messed up a rim in Buffalo.

And he has a pool in his backyard shaped like the Sleeman bottle. Pretty cool!

And he makes good beer! As a police officer, I would have taken a years wrth of beer as bribe...or he gets ticket.

He's not that good of a guy if he's making people work Sundays. Hardly news worthy. People speed everyday.

The drinking public wants their BEEEERRR BEEEEER BEEEEEEEEER!!!!

Summer time is profit time so I imagine they're trying to crank out as much as they can to maximize profits.

After all, if a customer wanting sleeman can't get it they may try (and like) something else and some customers are stuck on a brand for life... imagine the lost revenue.
