What's the translation on these vinyl thingies? Is that some sort of mod you can do to your car or it's the name of the cure?

I've cooled it on the audio thing. Now I just listen to my simple setup in my non acoustic echoey room.

See all these damn hobbies even wife (I live in la!) can be modded. Mod addiction? Joan rivers. Hahhaha sorry for that visual
nice! will let you know when i go.
right now am broke - been updating my cables, just couple more to go.... i suppose modding cars falls under the same group of disorders.
mooty is right, we can all go broke together just through ideas and recommendations. he seems dangerous
i owned a vpi 16.5 for 2 years but never used it as was too busy listening to the damn records, no time to clean them.

no, vinyl is not the cure, it's like the methadone they give gearheads to divert their attention to something less addictive, but it makes them more sick...

Blasphemy!
You can't just buy a performance car and not do any performance mods to it.

If i just have a large storage unit full of parts Ive been collecting the last year and half to go on the car but not yet installed does that qualify as keeping it stock?

That engine is so sweet. I'm still getting used to the new suspension but I know it is better than stock. I got the first person today that noticed the stealth 3.9 on the rear and knew what it was. Mister "keep it stock" talked me into headers next. Also going to put them on the RS. Admittedly I am not a tough sell. I mean he talked me into a McLaren for goodness sake!

Glad to see you are back up and running!
