What stole your attention from HiFi?



Hey folks.

Its been a while since ive been on here. My interests have recently taken a massive swing away from the audio hobby.
This happens from time to time, but i usually end up back here.

The newest attention stealer is my car. Black 2004 Mustang GT. Been doing a lot of work on it to make it faster and meaner. Man, Cars are almost as bad and as expencive as hi-fi. Hell, if i woulda bought a boombox and dumped the cash i blew on audio gear, my stang would be pushing 600HP at the rear and smoking dodge vipers. ROFL

What has stolen your attention in the past from Hi-Hi?

Cant say "kids", that is too easy of a cop out. ;)

Slapster,

Your current infatuation is completely normal, guys dig cars. I don't have muscle car envy, technology wins every time. My "rice burner" '89 Supra Turbo is set up to take on most wanna-bes but I stopped tinkering with it after I upgraded the fuel system last year (bigger MAF, 550CC injectors, SAFC II 'puter). The car forums are pretty damned funny, and the car audio is even more amusing. Scary that these guys can drive a car and legally vote. Hmm... I'll leave it at that.
Lugnut? Nitrous-- That makes me laugh

I Have a little smallblock 360 plymouth street strip car which does 11.6'S IN THE 1/4 (3300 pounds naturally aspirated) without any of that funny stuff. Oh ya and on my deathbed I will recieve total consciousness which is nice.

PS audiobugged is that why the guys in your car club call you the crusier

with me its jump from one obsession to another but with cars its just like audio, synergy, you need a setup that works well together.
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!
