I hear ya, less than 7 miles from my house is the intersection of Rte 90 and Rte 390, that's both the major East-West and North-South routes.

Just got back from looking at a house - eh. Not great but same landlord about a mile away was a very nice duplex, side by side townhouse style with full basement and laundry.

I did not have an appointment to see this place and so we have to wait to see the inside, but the outside is GORGEOUS! If the inside is 1/2 as nice as the outside and the setting, I am giving him a check on the spot. There's even chipmunks on the property

Only 7 miles to Formula H, 7 miles to where Tom picks up newspapers in the morning, and 6-7 miles from his other part time job. Could not be a more perfect location.

You can not even see any houses on either side. Closest neighbor is across the road about 1/4 mile away. Behind the house are acres of farm land.

Too bad the company tested it on soft tops and mugen style tops with no liner. Once installed, there is no room in the OEM Hardtop headliner to place the key in to unlock. A member on here has a set locked onto his car and he can't get the key in to unlock!

I thought you were holding out until that house overlooking Lake Waramaug came up on the market.














Anyway, good luck on your hunt for a beter place.

Their testing consisted of one sample. A member with an OEM top drove up to try the latch. The company bent the key and found that they could barely do it. Because of this they kept going with production. The production units shipped with the lock installed in a different orientation allowing the bent key not to work. Totally great quality control.

When the vendor was contacted about a refund or for support, he was instructed to use pliers or something to try and unlock the lock.
