So where are they located? Have you ever been there? The address posted is on my daily way from *$, I even went through the parking lot this morning but did not see any "lightning". Are they hiding among the school buses? ;-)
 
Located in South San Jose.
Corner of San Ignacio Ave and Las Colinas Ln, a block away from Great Oaks, a couple blocks from Monterey and Bernal Rd, Hwy 85 and 101...

The logo is on the window, no sign, me thinks.
 
Kinda look like this I passed by it in my Prius last year and was surprised

The LS-218 and Strike, yes. The Spark and the various other projects, prolly not.
