That was an awesome response!

Also, bigdaddy makes a very excellent point about investments.

As for justifying the price, nothing about this thing seem reasonable. This sucker is huge at 210 pounds and 23 1/2 inches long. The whole thing seems like a joke, all the numbers seem rediculously large. That is just half an inch under two feet long, and it weights just 30 pounds less than I do! I don't even know how they could make the stupid thing that heavy. Cost another small fortune just to ship it. I would really like to see one of these things up close.
