Why would God harbor a working class resentment for people with money? Most of the people who own those things are old pensioners that are afraid to fly. They are also very well insured.
I don't think many old-pensioners own $1 million amphibious motor homes. One need not resent other people's money to think that the things that they choose to spend it on are ridiculous.
While that is an extreme example, most of the old folks who own those things have sold off their homes to buy them as their sole residence. A non-amphibious motor home of that size costs around $120,000. I would bet that most of the old folks who drive them are your average mid-middle class types. Though if they bought the water-tight one I'd bet that they did have more money than sense :).
Actually, a comparable non-amphibious coach runs about the same money, if not slighly higher than that.... look at the website and check the interior photos...
Well, they do say that it's for "protected waterways--lakes, rivers, etc." And although it can handle saltwater briefly, they say that a fresh-water rinse is required.
It wasn't 100% complete until late July / early August... So they're still promoting the heck out of it. No sales have completed yet, and only one exists as of current. They've got a few contracts in the works for it, and a movie deal to use the Terra Wind. We're taking a roadtrip in it tomorrow to upstate New York, should be a nice trip.
