This February, drive up into the mountains with the help of Thule's 12-second-install tire chains, then rocket back down on a carbon-fiber sled.

$3,000 for a sled....NO ONE is going to buy that. Also $350 to sharpen your TV image, you can basically buy a whole new 36-40", 1080p, LCD TV for that price. WTF were they thinking?
