    I wish my lightweight project would have netted full HVAC and audio entertainment. Pretty cool!
    I use to worry about money; but then realized I don't HAVE anything to worry about.

    And just how often do manufacturers actually meet said targets? Makes for good marketing speak, though...

    To hit that weight target, I'd imagine that the PRHT has to be lost. But hey, someone will come along with an aftermarket HT if that's the case.
