    Ahh Cool. I wish I was in Florida. I love the weather. Hate the cold and snow. 5 years ago I found on Craigslist a pair of 1.2's in NYC for $550. So I bought them. Yeah. I Love what you did to the CRS+'s and they were my first Polks. Would love to have them in my living room.

    Nothing cool about it. Hot! But yes, nothing made me happier than the day I sold my snow thrower.

    Thats a pretty crazy buy to get 1.2's for so cheap. No wonder you have a spare pair! But the CRSs are keepers for me. My room is nowhere near big enough for anything bigger. And the little guys do an incredible job of blowing that room away. For the first time, I'm actually in a place where I want to make zero changes in my system, I love it exactly the way it is!
    Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

    Just think of the MPG he'll get....on a boat. lol

    What this amounts to is....a high end car marker coming out with another accessory for their high end clients....which amounts to a hill of beans to 95% of everyone else.

    If those stations are not built in the U.S., shipping and construction of these units need to be equated

    I would assume that the jackets of the cabling are derived from petroleum also.

    Formula E kind of sounds like slot car racing.
    That was fun when I was 10. :)

    That's a pretty silly question.

    Read the article. Read your post.
    Did i miss something? :neutral:

    Porsche is testing a more expensive, shorter range EV aimed at Tesla. Did you expect Porsche to cost less than Tesla? You're buying the name, first and foremost. The car comes 2nd.
    Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!!

    So I drove my 3/4 ton diesel GMC from Alabama to Texas, yesterday out, today back...460 miles each way.

    460 miles in a leaf would have taken me a minimum 4 charges, @ $7.50 a charge, 30min-2hrs per charge. I charge $85 an hour...I'll discount that $45 if it makes you feel any better.

    Anyway, long story short ....my diesel fuel cost $48.
