Lake Havasu? I know a Darrel Call, that's been in the business
there for over twenty years, he's got a beautiful '69 Corvette, if ever
would make enough money to finish it.

That's BS, He's talking flat rate, which only establishes the work
order's total value. He could say something like that if he was an
independent operator leasing a stall, but then of course the number of
hours he works have nothing to do with an "hourly rate", but on a profit
and loss statement.
