refill with new acid, no? šŸ˜‚ No seriously Iā€™d be fine with that, were talking about breaking even on $40k difference in something that looks to be hilariously fun to drive. ---

Iā€™m wondering if itā€™s the dealer or if itā€™s a private owner who is putting the vehicle on the lot wanting to see if they can get some stupid money for it with the dealer benefiting off a percent of the sale. I do not believe they own all of these cars sitting on their lot. The list of cars they have is ridiculous. A +$700k Mercedes, a $500k Lambo, and $375k Ferrari for starters. lol ---

Did you think it was going to be cheap? Escalade platinumā€™s are around $110K and this has WAY more content. A pretty basic normal suv is ~$70K now. ---

I was thinking 120-130. 150 plus options seems steep. Iā€™m sure itā€™ll be sold out like every other V. Ray laks will probably get one and mark it up to $400k. I have deposits on the hummer and cybertruck. Weā€™ll see which one happens first. ---

That looks like a fun bike. I also do not hate the HD e-bike looks, but Iā€™ve never had a chance to try one. Charging for free at work is the only reason I would consider an e-anything, but the cost of entry is still terrible. For a 24k motorcycle, I could get 2 used 1992 Honda 450 dirtbikes. ---
