You're right - the design definitely reminded me of the Sarona when I first laid eyes on it!

I love it too, but not enough to pay $600 for it.


I love HRE wheels ( I was looking at them today for the Stingray ). But a set is $9,000...I don't love them THAT much.

That's a ridiculous price, Steven.
I asked the vendor about their pricing or if it was a mistake and they answered some other questions but didn't answer that one.
I sure hope not! If they are that pricey I'll be super worried about it getting jacked!





Funny thing...they were selling like hotcakes...
now that it's at $590 shipped...it's been the same "76 sold" for a week!

The economists in their company need to be shot.. "Supply and demand" is great and all but when demand goes up and you put a 500% increase on your price rather than say... 100% you went from selling 500 a week to selling 2..

Instead of "Supply and Demand", how about "There's a sucker born every minute".

I don't doubt it...and if they get ONE sale it swallows up 6 others...but still. Nobody gonna pay that for that...it would have to be made of carbon fiber and kim k's nipple milk for it to warrant that price!

I'd pay $500 just for the milk. You can keep the spoiler.

it's crazy how different it is out here in california. my dad just got offered 1200 by the city to tear out his front yard...so that's what he's been doing the last few weekends.

even apt. communities are tearing out their grass areas to put in wood chips or rocks to save water/water bill costs.

Yeah, I heard about that incentive program they're doing...that should save a lot of water. Makes sense, and I'm sure a lot of people are jumping on that deal.

Nice...I wonder if these things will end up being "unicorn" items like the Sarona and ATLP roof spoilers. I'll have to add some extra scotch tape to mine for security measures.
