The folks in the bus forum were probably just as incredulous at some point when the first splitty was listed at $100k, but now that's no longer unheard of. Just saying...

Yeah. I paid $2,000 for my Acapulco in 1988. I'm glad there are crazy people asking (and perhaps paying) 40K+ for a thing. That is a good return for any investment.

Long live the overpriced Thing!

That Oil Cooler...Gene Berg is spinning in his grave! You're inadvertently pre- heating the cooing air w/the oil? Or is it blowing out of the vent? Blowing out would work ok, but he would still have issues with the oil cooler mounted there, radiating heat from all that superheated oil. Best place for that filter would be above transmission, totally out of the way. But wait, I think my 930 had it's oil filter in the engine compartment too! Yikes, I'm so confused.
