I have the Ultra Lux with the Fridge and it actually works very well and with the car shut off for periods of no more than 5 hours it will keep items pretty chill. I love this car and the options so do my passengers

on GS maybe.. but absolutely not on the SC...

sharper image sells something like this.. you may be able to mold something onto the GS.

I always thought of mounting one of these in my old car and power it via solar panels.

I soon scrapped the project as I realized the cost of solar panels to power it would be far more than it would be worth.

Sharper image also has this one:

Ofcourse you can go to the main store and pay full price for either of the two I listed above.


Quick Reply: i've heard on some 430UL models it came with a fridge... true?
