Right on!!

I had just come out of Goodwill today, after seeing all the junkies and ebay hounds diving into the bins looking for fresh. The other side of the parking lot, towards which I was now facing, contains the finishing-out portion of an auto-sound installer - there was a guy in the biggest SUV Infinity sells, having his new Mastercraft ski-boat outfitted with what looked like a small PA array. Quite the spread in demographic, all within 5 minutes and 100 feet.

$35 I say!

(No offense to owners of floating PA systems pulled by large SUV's)
