this wont be popular...

It certianly is a great airplane and this particular model looks to be
well built...but color me as someone not all that impressed or at the
very least "turned off" by the sticker. (of course I say that about a
182 for 1/4 million dollars).

Private airplanes do two things...they bring joy and transportation.

An airplane this costly has to justify itself in someway, we are
talking "house" price here. Look I like women in uniform and women
who are tough "broads" (to quote my fiance..falling in love again
after my wife passed away)...so I am (again to quote her) "wierd" in
terms of what appeals to me.

but I dont see how one justifies spending that much money on personal
transportation...and spending that much money on personal "fun".
There is a LOT Of "ego" here.

and for the most part (looking at the electronics) it is more ego then
most 100-200 hour a year pilots can master and stay current in.
