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. ;)

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. |
The sun is starting to melt the ice. This time of year the rainbows and Spring King run off the coast has me getting the boat ready and the hi fidelity room doesn't get much weekend time. Time to get out and bend the fly rod. Have fun with the Stang. The new ones look sharp. I love the blend of old and new. |
FWIW, here is a link to pictures of Chevelles, including the one I used to own. (It can be hit or miss to my Web site being up or down lately.) |
