From other people in the group I'm hearing that "$300 5200btu Brand Super
X 12.7 EER shakers" don't exist due to small size or do they?

And Walmart wouldn't be the place I would look for best stuff, naturally.
Although you never know where the new "global warming" trend may lead
Walmart marketing people to. I just heard GM advertising hybrid vehicles
today on the radio, who would have thought?

Well, considering Toyota sold 108,000 of them in 2005, I think someone
at GM thought......."Hey, maybe we could do that".
