160 mph Car dryer

I just got back from a local Pep Boys and saw a compact 160 mph car dryer that can also be used inside the car. Comes with a carry bag for $30. I tried recalling the website but forgot and cannot find it after numerous Google searches. Brookstone.com carries the same item but it is out of them and doesn't show any info at all about it An advantage of this item is it is much more compact that the typical leaf blower. I suppose 160 mph is sufficient ( kinda wished they made a 210 mph version )

Anyone have one of these? What do you think?

That one is pretty close. I will be checking Ebay. BTW, what brand is yours? Is it all black? Maybe it's the same one I just saw.

please do and let me know how it works. If it works as advertised, I just might have the easiest time drying other ppl's cars.

For $28-32K you could buy a Lightning, which has a built in 140 MPH dryer.

I picked one up at Schucks Auto supply for $10 last year and it works great. Went back to get another one for a friend and haven't been able to find one since.
