    All lovely stuff but not for beer drinking budgets or for those that just dont appreciate quality construction.

    Well, all these things you mentioned aren't really very common, are they? Helicopters, boats, electric guitars, luxury bikes, etc....

    Besides, seriously, some of these brands I never even heard. I heard Harley Davidson of course, but Indian?? Is that a brand of motorbikes?? Helicopters? I heard of McDonnel Douglas, but never heard of Sikorsky, Robinson, Bell. Are you sure that these things are actually exported? Methinks that European and Japanese can make much better bikes and helicopters (I can come up with 10 brands of Japanese and European bikes for example, but only one American: Harley), and nobody but Americans actually buy these American products.

    Sorry

    Looks like 2016 at the earliest then. Plenty of time for some more bad news between now and then.

    There is also big difference between jobs.
