FWIW, here is a link to pictures of Chevelles, including the one I used to own.

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. ;)

Hey Chris - good to hear from you, especially that you are getting the most out of life! Good on'ya man! For me it's been a combination of renovating our house for the past eight months, and drastic shifts in my business that has left me trying to reinvent myself. Still, music (not the gear) always provides an escape from the pressure cooker in me wee brain pan! Marco |
Now, the freakiest part about the person who posted this 18 year old actually has a drivers licence and a heavily modded supercharged 4.6l V8 that he can run a 1/4 mile in the mid 11's.... I just saw the documentary film, "Dust to Glory" about the grueling Baja 1000 race. Great film for anyone interested in racing on any level. There was a kid who was a member of a very prominent family who manufactures off-road parts and races...I think they're names are the McMinnimens or something like that. He was 16 and was racing in the demanding Trophy Truck category with one of his families customized trucks. He was off to an awkward start to say the least, but ended up getting the hang of it and coming in 6th as I recall. He'd just gotten his drivers licence months before and it was his first race, and let me tell you, the Baja 1000 is as far from a walk in the park as you can get. I think they routinely have about 1/3-1/2 of the field not make it at all. The film was made by Dana Brown, the same guy who did the surfing film, "Step Into Liquid". Highly recommended for thrill seekers of all kinds. Marco |
I haven't seen Dust To Glory, but it's definitely on my list now. Dana Brown and his pop Bruce have done some really neat stuff. I just watched On Any Sunday for the first time a few months ago and was completely mesmerized. Films like Step Into Liquid, Barefoot Adventure, and Endless Summer really take you away and immerse you into the experience. What? High end Audio? I also enjoyed Stacey Peralta's Dog Town and Z-Boys and Riding Giants. These are all films that will make you forget audio for a couple hours. |
