I agree that this crosses the line of stupidity. But I wonder what does the 20k actually pay for. I mean, how much does it REALLY cost to remove doors and add gas-shocks and pivot points in place of standard hinges?

Currently because i am too young i do not have a decent grasp of money and such and the value of that much money but i can recognize that $20,000 is a lot for swinging doors now. Before i knew the price and even now, i still think those doors are super cool! I'm pretty sure they are automatic right? I would LOVE to do that to my dads car once i start earning my own money.

If this were standard (Diablo, SLR, etc) it would be cool and I would feel cool climbing out of such a car.
However to know that 'those in the know' realise you have paid a huge amount simply to have your doors open upwards would make me feel a bit of a dick climbing out of it.
