Are they that cheap? I priced some out a few years ago and thought they were well over 1000. Ill have to take another look at them, they would be so much fun to play around on.

That is awesome! only 75lbs too which would be nice and easy to move around in the garage. The size is sure deceiving with the white background in the pictures!
