Well I am here, even if you want to do some kosher kind of thing with SSA.

Now I want matzo ball soup and pastrami on rye.

I mean the Volvo having issues in the snow.

Didn't say the Volvo had issues, just said the X3 was better....albeit fairly significantly.

I am surprised by that

A 60’s Ford/Chevy 2wd truck lowered and tubbed in the rear. With a crown Vic front end and and a big block. That’s the real dream. That or a ‘55 Bel-air set up about the same. Yes please.

The newer Volvo’s definitely have gorgeous styling. Very well executed. 

About the only other newer cars that catch my eye as much are the merc’s or Porsche’s. Excluding exotic sports cars of course.

The new Volvos are a techno crazy machine.  I am scared to work on them.

Hopefully they installed a fire system on the newer ones.

Yesterdays fun! Installed a 22uf cap in place of the 47uf. Should make it a little more zippy. Also changed the coil gap ratio so shouldn't lose too much inertia. 

Had replaced it a few months ago already, but 10 year+ old cap was defunk. lol

Started working on my Mustang man cave couch. Looks like its going to fall together nicely!

Poppin' sum' tweeter cherry's this week!

The RS180's tickled me so much I figured I better see what the Dayton tweets could do! Thanks again Sean for lending me equipment to play with! Being on someone else's dime has been an excellent driving force to stay motivated.

They are pointed in a direction... not sure it's good, but even if worst happens.... I'll be ok.

 

I would even be fine "homeless". I'm pretty sure I have a strong enough net that someone could help me out with a couch or something.  I honestly believe that accepting the worst and then doing what you can to prevent that and improve the situation is one of the most important perspectives someone can have.  Let's say it was worse and i didnt have a car or place to sleep.  I can get a few $$ by blowing a few guys or some other odd job and then hop a train to a warmer place and start over.  Life is super hard I don't really feel that the pain of it changes based on status or wealth etc etc.  It's nice to have options in life but that's just a luxury that we have.  I don't take my fortunate starting point and pain tolerance for granted and I just accept that at any second the house of cards can fall.  

Find yourself needing a couch and a warmer climate, just let me know.

I go stir crazy AF this time of year. Definitely make sure to have enough projects lined up to keep depression at bay.

Awesome.  They'd just be in a box here.  Dying to know what you will end up choosing.

Yikes, got a ride in a neighbors truck yesterday and he had wireless Android Auto, made me shop for headunits.  The Pioneer w8400nex has network mode and wireless AA.  If anyone ever see's them go reasonably somewhere I am all in.  Will have a Kenwood to part with then.
