So balancing those capital needs within the constraints of how much cash we're generating, I think it's hard to poke at our free cash flow generation and what we've done with that discipline.

Ironically, I think one of the parts of this year's upside, which has not been the expected major contributor that we all thought was pricing. And Paul, when we reconcile some of the average wholesale unit price that we see that we can back into, it's up almost 5% Q3, it's up 2.5% year-to-date, but the walk guide is only up 50 basis points to 100.
