You quoted me a bit out of context there, but the statement is still accurate.
Tell you what, go on over to Google and type in "doctor killer c" and let me know what the auto-complete gives you for that last word as the top result.
Wait, on second thought, DON'T do that if you are prone to wincing.
Again, I am not personally condemning that A/C at all, and am actually a fan (just like the Glassair and Lancair that came before and likely inspired it). I was simply pointing out that there seems to be a lot of low-time pilots with more money than experience/skill that are attracted to the "fast glass" type aircraft, which is often a decision that doesn't end well. Unfortunately, that also leads to A/C like the Cirrus acquiring a negative stigma that is hard to shake, even if it is largely unwarranted.
