Smelling really good, is a priority of my life...

If you are a cologne wearer, I highly recommend you get some Montale. This is 1 of 4 different ones I have. The siliage and staying power are fantastic.

Could you provide a model number and source? I'm looking for one. I take it that it uses USBs or is it just a speaker for bluetooth??

Hey there. Here is the link directly to the manufacturer for full details.
JBL is owned by Harmon Kardon. So they definitely know much about Home and Car Audio!

Good review and info here:

Congrats! Did you go with the builder’s lender or your own? ……Decent interest rate?!

I went through my own. Custom home builder, so they have their preferred lenders, but no direct offerings. I chose a portfolio-based credit union. Able to negotiate the rate as well as reduce closing costs (taxes primarily) as they are a non-profit. My rate is significantly lower than the “typical” going rate right now, but I’m hoping we can see overall drops in the upcoming years to justify a refi.

Thanks! We bought property early this year and have been planning and designing since. The builder has pretty dedicated subs, so our hope is to be in mid next year.

Still got a little soap left from the kit that came with the Genesis. Looking if it's worth the $500 for their ceramic coat as I'm not wild about their 'coating' that was in the kit.

I went for it, as I didn’t want to do PPF. It does a decent job repelling water, but the jury is still out on the “self healing” properties.

I'm having a hard time finding it now. Really just looking for something to keep marks from setting in.

Ceramic coat on my other cars is worth it...wipe it down, looks like I spent hours cleaning it.

I purchased direct from their website back in August. Totally agree on the worth of ceramic in general, it just seems that with matte paint our choices are pretty limited. I only used about half the bottle, so have enough to do it again.

My lady has a GV80 and it has really grown on me. It's a nice SUV for the stable.

Looking at that dog I'm guessing the only thing he really minds is late dinner.

I've always found radio controlled planes super cool. Nice purchase!
