What stole your attention from HiFi?

Getting back to model railroading after quite a long hiatus. Not that expensive money-wise, but a real time sink. E-bay is not much of a help since I have a tendency to forget how much the shipping charges actually are to get the stuff delivered to Canada and wind up paying about the same as finding the item locally! The relative sanity of model railroaders is a great relief from this place and AA.

Brianmgrarcom, my buddy just recently found his original Chevelle SS454 that he had sold way back after college and is now in the process of restoring it. All of the guys I hung out with in HS had one! We were cracking up when he told us that he found his original SS and bought it!

I have been back to playing some guitar since the Allman Brothers came back to NYC. I even took out my 1957 Les Paul Gold Top from storage to play it again. Man it just sounds so sweet, nothing really like it today.

Slapster, I was wondering what happened to you. Good to see that you are still up to no good! HA!

Happy Listening while you're Riding!

A baby and a mistress :)

Autio and others,

You and loving cars! Ah, the American male. Slappy's keeping it alive.

My Nova ran mid tens at 5500 feet corrected elevation. Small block, one carb, pump gas, through the mufflers on street tires. Oh yeah, a stick too. No nitrous or forced air induction. I did it the hard way. I do not respect nitrous in most applications at all. It's almost like cheating. What I was saying to Slappy is that if he MUST go faster, nitrous is way cheap compared to a great valve train/cylinder head package and all the bits to make it work right. That isn't easy.

Also, I'm openly admitted that I don't like import hotrods. It just doesn't seem natural. Call me pig headed or any other insult. It's okay, I admit it, I am. I realize that some of these front wheel drive cars can turn an eight second quarter mile and provide the crowds with all kinds of thrills while they try to keep it between the gaurdrails. I don't much like the culture either. These guys cheat, street race and play nasty games at the track. It's kind of like what rap is to music, muscle imports are to hotrodding.

Slappy wouldn't listen to my real advice so I chose to give him some that he might listen to. The real advice is to quit doing anything to the car. Pay it off, take good care of it and keep it a lifetime. Go out and upgrade your audio system and stay home more. Find a permanent woman to enhance your life, learn to cook and cultivate lasting friends for your mature social needs of the future. That's where happiness lies, IMO. YMMV

Autio says, "Oh ya and on my deathbed I will recieve total consciousness which is nice." Please send me a private email about this. I'd appreciate it.

trying to get the hell out of Misery...oh...I mean Missouri...lol...not to mention I gave my system away to a friend.
