Quoted from snaroff:

Thanks...me too. Money well spent. If I sell the house, this upgrade will pay dividends I’m sure.
The only reason I splurged for them was I live in a hurricane zone and the doors that the builder put on this home were a complete joke and were installed incorrectly (in-swing instead of out-swing, which isn’t ideal in a hurricane). These doors and installation are rock solid...the glass is bulletproof.

Quoted from romulusx:

On what level does it make sense?
You don’t have hurricanes in California

Quoted from snaroff:

It's a Florida home...I only live part-time in Pasadena. This time of year, Florida rocks (especially since LA is basically shut down). LA without music/entertainment isn't much fun.

Quoted from woody76:

Yes, I have seen it and it blew my mind that someone paid that much #1. for a pinball machine. and #2. for a JJP Pirates pinball machine. I have a hard time getting $2000 worth of pleasure from a game much less almost $20k.
