What is a smart BBQ?
I think it's what you cook on out on the patio of your 'smart home'.

Guess now you can buy a 'smart sound system' for a mere $7,500! Hell, that's HALF of what I paid for my entire car!

I think I'll pass on that, thank you very much.

Amen to that, I spent $40 on a pair of Kicker 6 1/2" two ways for my smart, and I am now a happy camper with my sound system. It makes all the difference in the world! I was considering upgrading my head unit, but these speakers make my radio 9 sound so good, I'll save my money for something else.

Sooooo, it appears AGAIN, that Tech Talk was NOT Tech Talk

Glad I didn't make the trip

Too bad, they have a great idea and then turn it into something it's not

I would LOVE to go IF it was Tech Talk

You had an accident? In your smart? Can you share it with those of us unable to attend?

Pikes Peak sounds cool too!

Well my talk is buried in the latest general message from SCI. In a nutshell I was hit in the rear by a new Nissan Maxima. I took off his bumper and grill little visible damage to me but lot of internal he punched out my muffler and it totaled $2000.00.SCI did great job working with me and other guys insurance.
Trip to Colorado in September and went up Pikes Peak with no problem. In fact the jeep in front of me was in my way. I am a big fan of the paddle shifters and I tend to drive the car hard. Still got 49 mpg in Illinois at 80 mph.

Thanks for sharing....for some reason I no longer get any emails from SCI or even the invites to Tech Talk.

Sorry to hear about the accident. I take it that all is well NOW? Too funny about the Jeep and Pikes Peak. Some place I've not been but want to see.

One for my 'Bucket List' I suppose.....
