I agree. I think AMG is being rather thickheaded about this. With 1
year old vehicles they might have an argument, but for 20 year old
beaters? I don't see the logic either.

Because the value is intellectual in nature, not physical.

If they don't pay us what it is worth, we will gladly let someone else do
it. We spent 2 years on contract negotiations (which should have taken 4
months) and when the light was at the end of the tunnel it was cancelled
at the last minute because the money we were about to receive was raided
for war expenses. Now we have to start all over again. Yup, working
with the government is fun :-)
