If I did this right the pic should be attached. How cool is a glow engine with electric start, alternator, and water cooling?

No argument from me but I think it's a lot for the money. Maybe a truer to scale car or even a generator of some sort. People spend more than that to fly tiny airplanes.

That's actually a bargain the in scale model engine world.

If you really want sticker shock, look up a glow radial engine.

I believe that's nitro fuel right? Like the RC Cars use. It's neat - like a little mini diesel.

Well if you want to replicate a modern diesel, you'll have to solder in a check engine light that never shuts off.

Moki S400 runs about $5800. I thought spending $300 for an OS95 years ago was a lot.
