way to go, giz, with your class warfare. unfortunately for you insulated know-Besters, there were alot of semi-"rich" that lost their entire nut with madoff.

but keep it coming! it only shows your ignorance of whats coming over the horizon. and how, oh how, are you going to justify such remarks when this lousy website is giving you a paycheck, and most of us are having to leech off someone's unsecured wireless to view your asinine remarks?

f*cking idiots. we are all in the same boat with this economic downturn, and if you don't realize that, jump out of the boat and let the rest of us work together to survive!

@RGWS FTW!: Maybe they ARE wearing heavy down jackets as they type, but how dare you call them insulated? You don't know them! You don't buy their clothes!

Not really a gadget and has been on the market for some time now?

@T1nd0g: Where were you for the shuttle-carrying 747 article, all of those articles about Virgin Galactic, and all of those other not-so-gadgety-but-still-very-techie thingamadoodles??

Wasn't this on Top Gear like a year ago? Only with a cooler car.

Series 10, episode 6.

@ThorpeDemonassa: Yeah, I remember that too. The one on Top Gear wasn't this one, it was probably more expensive even.

If this for any reason had to go over a real steep hill, it would clearly bottom out and the frame will bend upwards, therefore crushing the Benz, because there doesn't seem to be much if any room between the top of the Benz and the compartment it's in.

@mricyfire: Clearly you wouldn't want to drive this over a real steep hill, and the frame would not bend upwards. Structural steel framing strong enough to hold up for that use, clearly would support the weight of a bottom out.

@mricyfire: Good morning Mr. Ice Fire, I am a representative of the Autowerks Coach Builders (manufacturers of the RV shown above). I would like to thank you for pointing out this obvious design flaw. Despite the fact that we spent nearly 5 million dollars developing this new RV design we completely neglected to think of what would happen if you attempted to drive this RV over the crest of a really steep hill. I would like you offer to send you a business check in the value of 1.75 million dollars as a consulting fee for your insight.

Please email your mailing information to me at the following email address.

youareadipshit@youcannotpossiblybethatdumb.org

Thanks again for your design insight, it should help us avoid a large number of expensive liability suits.

Sincerely,

Jack Mehoff

You know, Madoff swindled a few charities as well. Now the OLPC program has been fractionated to (1/16)LPC. Poor kids.

@Ryanraven: I imagine a helicopter-lift service is built into the price. Hopefully they use some of our (Canada's) Seakings, that would help thin out the wealthy populace.
