Re: Let's have a shootout.
^^^ awesome Jody.
Dump those isolators and get some Sound Addicted acoustic foam pads. They have all kinds of different types and designs. I swear by these pads, though. One of the best mods/accessories, regardless of cost, and these are relatively cheap.
They have the added feature of angle control. Each pad is comprised it two pieces, sliced on a diagonal. You flip, stack, and orient the pad set for various angle orientation of the speaker/monitor. Pretty handy.
Stiff enough to not bleed off sound life, soft enough to thoroughly decouple.
I have those Wagner/Diversitech sandwiches for some stuff, but they're too stiff and act more like couplers. (originally designed to be used under heavy equipment to damp vibration or motion. think pumps, compressors, and motors)

Re: EV's , who owns one and can share their ownership experience?
One of my reasons of making this thread is the fact that DODGE , who I have loved for decades decided it was a good idea to make the 2024 Charger an EV. As you can see if you go try to find one, it's December and the car is not out on the market yet.
From what I have learned, they have a ton of them built already but they are sitting at holding lots somewhere with electrical issues, poor charging batteries and fitment issues. So they are not being released as scheduled , which by the way has been pushed back I think 2 or 3 times now.
I'm also learning they are trying to get out the in line 6 gas Charger 2025 model, which is also not out yet but might come out before they release the EV, which was supposed to be the other way around.

Re: Not for the squeamish or weak constitution
@Geoff4rfc, that monitoring program should benefit your health.
It will also give you an understanding of good and bad numbers and the foods that have an effect.
I take my blood pressure almost everyday and it is transmitted to a group that notifies my doctor if out of range for three straight days. Also, I receive a call from an assigned nurse on any really unusal reading to ask me how I'm feeling, what I've eaten, etc. I am always asked if I have had Mexican Food, lots of salt, etc. I'm on the monitoring as a precation because of my age and hypertension.
You may have to stay off the "What are you cooking?" thread for awhile.

Re: EV's , who owns one and can share their ownership experience?
I don't think northern New England, given our climate, housing density, and terrain, is a great place for EVs -- but the locals seem to think otherwise. We do not have one, mostly due to (my) range anxiety.
That said, our daughter & son-in-law have a Tesla 3, and his parents have a Tesla Y. They love them and are very happy with every aspect of owning one. Both families do each have one gas-drinking vehicle as well.
I've driven the 3 several times (mostly doing grandchildren transport
), and other than some abstruse aspects to the user interface (so to speak) I find it quite nice. The 3 is a fairly early one, but its level of fit and finish seem absolutely fine to me, at least on par with contemporary US vehicles.
Elon Musk's... umm... eccentricities aside, I really cannot imagine anyone seriously considering any other than a Tesla, if for no other reason than their charging infrastructure. They're the sine qua non in the US Northeast.
EVs are surprisingly common where we live, probably mostly due to the presence of Dartmouth College and the resulting micro-tech-enclave surrounding it. NH's legacy reputation as a tax haven (I suppose) also brings with it a remarkable concentration of wealth for a generally unassuming part of the world.
Appros of nothing, I'd say that in our neck of the woods, the most common EV brand after Tesla is Rivian (both the SUV and the pickup model are rather common). All others trail far behind, although there are a fair number of Leaves Leafs
, eMustangs, and, remarkably, even the electric F-150 Lightnings. Several Lucids kicking around, too, as well as a smattering of all the rest.
