Speaking from personal experience, they're not worth a ****, anyway.
The amount of energy gathered by a cheap PV cell measuring about 2 square inches is not sufficient to generate much in the way of illumination for any length of time. My grandmother had a number of these around the garden and front walkway of her house, and while you could tell that they were on, they didn't contribute much in the way of illuminating the area around them.
I've seen pricey ones that sell in the neighborhood of $50 each, and who knows- maybe those actually do something useful. But definitely not the units in the price range you're talking about.

Dammit, I replaced my fuel filter and it still feels "flat" up top. My lappy toppy was dead so I didn't get to log, but I'll do that later today. I guess the next step would be a fuel pump....then have the injectors cleaned. Dammit, I don't want to be chasing this **** for months...or I may be liable to sell the damn thing.

You looking for all out comfort or a performance oriented sedan? I just went completely opposite of the miata and got an avalon. Drives like a boat and quiet. I love it.
If boat like comfort is your cup of tea, then the avalon or an ls430. I looked at 2006 avalons and 2004 ls430s. I like the limited avalon because the smart key is neat and it has cooled seats.
I alos like that toyota doesn't drastically change its body styles, so my 06 avalon doesn't look much different than the 2011.

I've finally eaten enough goldfish to sober upa bit.
you really are a dumbass. the car WILL break and it WILL be expensive to fix. it's just a fact of life. B5 S4s are no less reliable or more reliable than a urS4s.
if the dude wants something reliable, he will STAY AWAY from the b5s4.
Find then buy well taken care of but relatively cheap B5S4 w/ M6

I dunno, I'm quite fond of the looks of the LS460, but it's a pile of **** in terms of quality compared to Lexus old lineup of cars. Also love the newer IS models.
