First let me say great looking product.
Some great points have been made . Most I agree with 100% .
The only notch in the armor is the fact that these machines have been out to the industry since 1994 or so. Yes, I did work on parts at work back then.
The machines might be getting cheaper but at a much slower rate than home electronic market.
The one thing that this reminds me of is the home printer. The machines are cheap and do a great job of printing , but how much does a cartridge cost for it.
Printer ink is still stupid pricey per ounce.
If this stuff still cost $1000.00 for 2 pounds that is to much for us to go in the right direction . 20 years of the machines in the industry still pricey.
And yes I do have a few cars in my mind that I would spend the $300.00 on. But they would need to be complete kits for that price. I would come up with the tires.
