I'll keep that Ford Focus in mind and will try it out if it's still available between now and when I have the big money in my account,
but this time I'm going to try more dealerships more than private sellers. Might be tougher to find a good vehicle for $3000 through dealers,
but I want to try my best to get someone who actually took care of the car. That Ford Focus does look as if it's been taken care of though,
so I will give them a shot when I can.

No.

Is the package soft linen?

The filter is in its package when not use.

Who said vanadate phosphor is better efficient? Some reputable quote, please? Vanadium is notably toxic at the time yttrium and europium seems neutral.

YOX was somewhat problematic to coat the bulbs due to very fine grains, so vanadate phosphor was chosen for HPMs in the older times. I have some precious YOX powder to play, so know this first hand

There are rather clear rubbing marks. Where and how it is stored? Hadn't it fallen down on something? What are you using for cleaning?
I woulg guess it isn't that much what it is used for, but what is happening to it when not used...

I using it with my camera to capture closeup of the arcs of my MH lamps, and this exposes the filter to very high temperatures.
I don't scratch the filter.

Just saw this 2006 Ford Focus that was listed just this morning.

I'm expecting an EPIC Large Amount of money here soon in the next few days, possibly a week. Once that money is received, I will be able to begin
the search of the next car again, and I'll try my best to limit the amount for the car to just $3,000. The remaining amount of money will be used to
update my apartment significantly, and from there, my ability to SAVE UP money will also finally be back as well, since I'm cutting down a good portion
of my debt.
Yes, it really sucked that I had to let go of that beautiful sport car, and a lot of my dreams crashed and burned the moment it sold... but... now I'm
opening the door to more dreams. Obviously that is not the only epic Turboed sport car out there, at all. There are many, many more options. Since this
is the case, when the time is right, I will purchase another very similar sport car, just as long as I have my daily car as well.
The moment my daily car is in an accident, if I have a sport car, I will sell it, immediately. This is what I should have done when I lost my Pontiac G6.
But yep, once I get everything back on track, I will be in search for a motorcycle again, much before the search for the next sport car. Before the
motorcycle search begins, my apartment must be complete.
One thing I should mention about my apartment completion as well is that, I also plan on doing meet ups for us Lighting Enthusiasts/collectors here at
this apartment. Should be complete with all of this by the middle of next month, possibly earlier!

Sad to hear your Genesis is gone.

Have you found a daily car yet, or are you still searching?
