Oh yes, I've already made plans to avoid Hyundai and Kia. Reliability is key, and Hyundai and Kia just isn't it.

No, but if i will be too bored i may try to scope this....

That’s really sad    my mum (mom) has got cancer but is now a lot better! I hope everything turns out ok for everyone! Kindest Regards Fox

@StefanE: In automotive MH lamps, the xenon is there to provide minimal amount of light at turning on, so it is a buffer gas, and isn't produces light once the mercury and the halides evaporated.

Isn't there also some transformer? Because 210V*5=1050V, maybe if I would be VERY optimistic about resonant overshoot (assume zero losses related to the leakage inductance and internal capacitances) it could hypothetically become 2kV, but more realistic maximum will be no more than 1.5kV. Definitely not anything close to 4.5kV.
Maybe some structure similaf to Marx generator (just build using sidacs instead of spark gaps; charging the capacitors in parallel to the 200V of the sidac trigger level, then the sidacs trigger and connect them in series, so in total reach the 800V pulse), like a 4 stage bank, could lead to something close to 4kV. But then there would have to be 4 capacitors and 4 sidacs...

@suzukir122 — check local Facebook groups for good car deals. Often that is how you differentiate from the "r-built" cars and the genuinely good ones. We got my Honda Crosstour, EX-L, AWD, V6 for a grand total of $4500. He had it listed at $5700, but there was an A/C issue (compressor was out), and thus we got it for under list. And even list price is good, especially in this market. Just find someone local who simply needs to get it off their hands (NOT a dealer or reseller!! I would personally recommend Honda and Toyota, maybe the occasional Ford. But I would stay from Hyaundai, Kia, and the likes. They're cheaper used for a good reason.

We have a couple Lidi in Austell, GA and west side of Marietta, GA area.

My thought carried out for your, Cole

I had a few colonoscopies and still healthy (with a few polyps removed).  My mother had colon cancer removed and now cancer free.

Yep, sounds like a plan @LightsoftheWest. I'll keep in touch with you through PM!
The Ford Focus is also in the list of cars I'm highly interested in, in terms of overall reliability.

I'm so sorry to hear this, I hope that talking can at least do a bit of help.

My prayers are with both you and your family, wishing you all the best health.
