Why, why, WHY would anyone pay that kind of money.

I'm reminded of how expensive electric cars are, and how we're being told "Everyone will have an electric car very soon now". Not me. I don't spend $80k on a car. If I go over $20k it's going to be reported on the 11 o'clock news.

No wonder people are in horrendous debt and see no way of retiring any time soon.
