2007 Charger R/T vs. 2005 CTS 3.6L

The more the look the more I like. Not good.

I feel almost the same way about the new "Chargers" that I do about the new "Impalas"

Except rwd >>>> fwd.

Sounds like everyone is having a great day...............

Untill now it's been going great. The epoxy holds great, the basket isn't warped, someone is finally buying the 6F cap and I'm going drinking tonight :drink40:

You said you didn't drink a few days ago.

Ryan...ever thought of stuff like this as an easy, affordable entry into the audio world?

http://audiojunkies.com/blog/1153/custom-h...ks-from-s-audio

I know that there is a shortage of affordable, well-finished headphone stands out there.

I'd often thought about head phone holders, but never got around to building some. I figured there were plenty out there already. It appears that would be a good market to start in, those plywood ones for 42$ are (in my opinion...) ugly, and overpriced. There is less than 1.50$ in materials in that thing and you can make it in probably 20min if you know what you are doing.

This looks like a very interesting market, thanks for the heads up Neil. :) I think I'm going to have to go visit a lumber yard and pick up some walnut and 'exotics' and start seeing what I can make. Needless to say they will have curves and not be just a regular stand.

I'm already excited about this. :D

I'll give you a $1.50 for a pair :D

I think you'd rather have a stand for about 30$ that is done in steam bent walnut or something along those lines. ;)

Of course, I was just ribbing you since you said you could build them for $1.50. My AKG's could use a holda.

I could do those for 10$ (shipped) though, the shipping = teh killah.

Not much to it really, you just make a 'steam box' thats open on both ends, put your piece in there on some risers, fill it with steam and it takes ~15min for every1/4" of thickness. Then you can bend it around your form.

For these that I'm thinking of, I'll probably do a steel plate with holes drilled in a grid (then use bolts) so I can play around with different configurations and shapes till I find some that I really like. :)

Fairly good game last night. One of the average teams in the league tried bringing on two ringers who foul the crap out of everyone. Took us a little to get going, but after we tied it 3 to 3, we pulled away in the 2nd half. I wish I could play every night.

Gonna get my competetive juices flowing tonight . First race of the 1/8th season is tonight . Friday night thunder...................probably gonna get my arse handed to me though. They changed the track configuration and I will have exactly zero practice time before my first heat race. But I damn sure won't go down without a fight :)

Looks like we got a nice blast of ice in the early early hours this morning. Obviously not much left now (9:15AM CST) but still:

Exhausted is an understatement. I haven't had more than 3 hours of sleep all week.

One bolt on one of the lca as he has no air hammer and it is rather stuck in the bushing. Should be out now as I loaned him my hammer. :)
