    I don't think they're overpriced, the engine is the size of a sedan and the fuel system is made in Austria and looks like it belongs in the inside of a rocket engine, everything else is a retrofit from a rail car. I think they just skimp on the soft stuff, specifically electrical, to try and pocket as much profit as they can. Unfortunately with as many computers and sensors as there are now, one little short can hamstring the whole rig. And finding the source turns into a whole additional phase of R&D, paid for by the customer. ever looked under the dash, behind the pedals? It looks like a server cabinet, stuff is just stuffed under there, all tangled around itself, and ALL EXPOSED. and then the windshield starts leaking...:eek:o_O
