There was a red C4 with a white stripe in the 2nd one. It might have been white with a red stripe...

Not really such a big fan of robbery, in fact execution seems reasonable for this kind of degenerate behavior, but it makes for a nice action sequence.

Yeah, how dare a citizen try to rob an oil company. Haha.
There's no release date! What am I to do?

Theft is theft. Gas is/was expensive because oil commodity prices went up becuase speculators bid it up for various mostly legit reasons. The oil companies didn't steal anything from you. Want cheaper gas? Stabilize the dollar and expand future potential supplies, which has a remarkable effect on the price of "Futures". :sm_up_there:
Moreover, all theft loss is passed onto the law abiding consumer. Rarely will a company eat this expense. Literally when you buy many things, a portion of the expense is factored theft loss. That's right, you're subsidizing thieves. Take that into consideration the next time you watch some sort of "stick it to the man" Commie propaganda BS.
Anyway, you've got your Costco jar of Vaseline and life size cardboard cutout of Vin Diesel. You'll be indefinitely fine.

Actually, he's not alone- Darlene has a BIG CRUSH on Vin. She wants a life size cardboard cutout with all the correct appendages.:smack:

It's nearly impossible to pass theft loss onto the customer unless you have a monopoly. If you jack up the price of gas to cover your loss, people will fill up across the street.

I wouldn't share it anyways.

You're funny. I don't think there is a meaningful internal loss for gas at the commercial level, so it's not as relevant as other retail businesses. However, in their case I imagine the retail outlet *may* have to eat the markup from the refinery depending on their market. Anyway, maybe you eat the cost, or maybe its some nice little mom and pop service station . . . it ain't "big oil" if it's the idea of piracy that excites you.
Actually, this kind of piracy and black market activity is endemic to festering 3rd world shit holes. Ironically, many are propagandized and deluded into believing this is the consequence of poverty when in fact it is one of the main propagators thereof.

oh look the movie that gave u guys imports on a massive level attempting to compete with yall!!!
on ya and it also brought the evo the to U.S. so i guess i cant talk to much shit on this film its kinda like my adam and eve....omega and alpha.....beginning and the end!!! lol
also i do believe the hero car in this movie is either the new sti :-( which u can see painted in nice raider colors in the trailer or the new GT-R
my money is on the sti though my friend whos car is supposed to be in the movie tagged along with the director while he waited for a mitsu rep to show up with a new evo *which was supposed to be the hero car* but i guess when he showed up he had an attitude and acted like a prick when the director wanted pics *this was back b4 the new evo came out so mitsu wanted to keep the look of the official car under wraps GOD KNOWS Y??*
well during all this i guess a last minute call was made to get a subie rep with a new sti down there and well he showed up open arms and let them test drive the car and pretty much gave the director what he wanted. which is y supposedly the sti is the main car in this flick!!
i guess only time well tell to see if my friend was correct about what he said? lol

I saw the first one only. I had no desire to see anymore. But if Vin is in the next one I'll have to rent it for Jiggles. Then I'll watch it with her because she'll be naked.:)

How would the franchise be responsible for the loss before taking delivery? Realistically the insurance company would eat it, either the oil's insurance company or the trucking insurance company. Assuming the oil companies hired someone to transport it rather than funding their own transport.

You're scaring me. Let's see. Insurance claims increase rates. Rates are an expense factored into operations . . . see where this is going. In fact insurance is a great example, thank you. You're paying for a LOT OF INSURANCE FRAUD. In fact, this is one of the few things Schwarzenegger has done well, reforming and cracking down on CA state Worker's Comp Fraud.

Now you're scaring me Ben, you're really reaching for it. Are you above defeat?
Insurance rates are for the most part static. You can't factor in a slight rate change when were talking about passing millions of dollars of theft onto the consumer. If the rates increased that much, there would be no need for insurance. And once again, regardless of whether or not the rates increased, gas stations must compete. Trying to pass the cost on to the consumer will only cause them to fill up across the street.

I'm talking about the concept of theft losses being passed on to consumers in general. Sure, some scum of the earth who should be shot in the knee caps and left for dead in the deserts steals a tanker of gas, that cost as a one time will be eaten. Piracy on a regular basis will not. I work for a multi-national multi-billion dollar company and I'll tell you this much: EVERY EXPENSE THE COMPANY INCURS, INCLUDING PIRATE INSURANCE (SERIOUSLY), IS FACTORED INTO PRODUCT PLANS AND IMPACTS COSTS PAID BY DISTRIBUTORS RETAIL OUTLETS AND ULTIMATELY BY CONSUMERS . . . PERIOD. IT'S A FACT. I know it's a popular Hollywood theme. Steal from the big guys, nobody really gets hurt . . . it's covered by insurance, yada yada yada. You're a sucker if you think that's the way it really goes down at higher levels over time.
Car insurance rates, workers comp, medicare all have rates that are inflated as a function of fraud, a category of theft. This is extensively documented.

Agreed, all gas companies have insurance and all gas companies factor that into the cost of retail gas. But we're talking about a one time theft at one company. You will pay for insurance whether it is being used or not, therefore the cost of a one time theft at one company will not be passed on to you the consumer, directly.
