This week Eric, my son, and I remember what it was like when I first purchased my professionally converted Pontiac Fiero, Destiny2000. The crazy adventures of just getting the vehicle back from Pennsylvania. The experience of having a vehicle with a head turning quotient like no other. Actually changing a controller. What? Me get my hands dirty. And much, much more. Take a listen. There was more stuff here than could fit in a show.

Joe and Son,
   Thanks for recounting the story of your ev purchase and experience, it was most enjoyable.

   On the Undercabinet LED lights, I have them as well and they are great.  However, don't get too carried away with the efficiency claims.  LED and CFL have similar efficient which is that they use about 25% of the power of incandescents.  Often LED manufacturers cheat by not putting out as much illumination.  I had to put in twice as many LED's undercabinet as my Halogens to get close to the same amount of light.  In the end, the result was better because more lights means better uniformity of illumination.
