AP.

And I'm sure the meetings go like all meetings go, 55 minutes of someone from efficiency or finance presenting slides about how PTS slows down the plant's efficiency metrics and the quality of the paint may not be great and how disposing certain colors may harm the fish hatcheries downstream... and with 5 minutes left they say, "well we only have 5 minutes, so I'll give you your 5 minutes back!" and then AP raises his hand and yells. "BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CUSTOMERS WHO JUTS WANT THEIR SPECIAL PORSCHE IN A SPECIAL COLOR?" To which the 30 other stakeholders look at him like he's an old man yelling at kids on his lawn... and say, "Andreas, we can't offer our customers what they really want... 911s if we don't hit our metrics - which affects our profit margin... which our shareholders really want to be happy with their investment. But if you feel strongly, please send an email to the team or post to the group chat!"

To which AP sends an email he will retire. I would if that was the way that meeting goes. Obviously I have no knowledge of how this works, but if their executive planning meetings go like mine do - yes this is why we can't have PTS.

if you needed to meet, you haven't flushed out the idea yet

meeting are called by those who are confused
he wants to see how more confused his peers are
if they are more confused, great. no result
if they are less confused, great bc that confuses him more
after meeting those who were confused are still confused
those who were confused are now confused
to further the confusion, meeting notes are produced, of which 50-% of the writing are useless
the other 50% are really confusing...

am I right?

It's a joke.

Thanks in Advance...

Seen it. It is not very metallic, looks more flat. A nice light blue not far away from gulf or meissen in my view (also both are uni colours). Not grey at all.

I have a PTS allocation and I didn't choose the heritage package because of the interior color and gold lettering and badges.
