Like your 200k boat, I understand if you want it, luxury is here to serve and entertain us - if after 5 years of "regular use" it would need an entire new hull, you wouldnt say "its just mainintence", but that its a scam or a bad product which is my point about certain houses.

overdesigned meme. same stuff as RC&aired but expensive, more proprietary, weaker and more toxic.
