There's no way I'd pay that much

Sure, I crave the Acabion:

But they're asking nearly 2 million bucks.

That's preposterous. You can buy a fine
jet for cheaper than that! In fact, I could
take a glider, chop off the wings, and put
a high powered rice rocket under the
cockpit, all for about 50 grand and have
the same thing.
