FWIW - I wish I had my early production AC Cobra but the college education it paid for is still worth slightly more than that car is worth today $250,000. It was the SN that got the $$$. But I do agree with you that we get pretty silly at times. I bought the K3 for the value of a super

I fully agree - our machines are much more than just an assemblence of physics and mechanical contraptions. I've always known this. If one has ever worked an original idea from start, to a U.S. Patent award - one knows how much of one's heart and soul went into it! Or have they built a boat

I agree, and feel same. For those of us who took the leap of faith, and bankrolled the introduction of the yet to be seen (by me) K3 - something on the first production K3 rigs - should be unique. A K3 Gold logo (ala Kenwood), a K3 Li logo plate, a unique SN plate on rig. Something visual or
