I don't know about guitars, but compared to guns cars are a real bargain.Guns, cars and guitars. All the same. Anything worth having is either out of production or extremely overpriced.
You can buy a very functional car for $14,000 that is guaranteed for 100,000 miles or ten years and when you consider all the electronics and mechanical parts are in a car, guns are a big ripoff.
You will drive a car for years with the engine running at 2,000 to 3,000 revolutions a minute or higher for years and now consider how many slide strokes a gun can handle before it wears out.
I can't even imagine how many explosions occurs in a car engine over all the years it's driven, but surely it's well into the millions, or maybe billions, now compare that to how many rounds a gun can handle before it fails.
Cars are a real bargain and guns are anything but.
