[Show us your great photography thread!]

A shot of the moon on the Ware River near Gloucester, VA. Dear wife and I were there with the kids and grandkids for a short vacation. Rented a really nice cottage, literally 40 feet from the river. This was taken with a cheap Sony digital through the screen of a screened in porch.

Greg my comments were not meant with any ill intent, Mostly it is just a description of my own feelings on car manufacturers now days, I personally say more power to anyone that can afford such a vehicle and Enjoy

 

It was not my intention to offend and I apologize if I have

 

 

Oh yea  The truck looks great

 Hey Joe!

 

Nothing you said offended me at all. Never saw you mention "idiot", or anything like it.

 

I'll soon be 60, and the 2013 F150 is the second new vehicle I've ever owned. Think I waited long enough.

 

Cheers,

Greg

Forgive me for being a bit of a smart aleck. I guess comments just hit me when I was feeling a little crusty.

 

Cheers,

[Your favorite glowing tubes!]

That's a nice looking amp Mike!  The chassis looks fairly small- what are its dimensions?  Also, what kind of opts did you use?  I'm always looking for less costly alternatives to the Hammond 125SE series but have yet to find anything which doesn't compromise the bottom end response too much, or look unattractive (to me) like the Edcors with the blue end bells.

I built an amp and used the blue Edcors. The amp was gray and black hammertone, and of course the Edcors looked hideous. Just took the bell ends off and painted them black. Still look great after about 4 years.

 

Cheers,

Greg

priced them and laughed as I walk away, wondering who the heck pays 40- 60K for a pickup

Probably the same kind of idiots who buy 40K jeep wranglers then adds mods on top of that. I'm hoping to keep mine forever plus residual value is really good or else I wouldn't have done that. As stuff starts wearing out I'll be doing the exact same thing that the OP is.

Trucks though, yeah I don't get it, lots of people get them them don't keep them long, there's always a ton of used trucks that aren't that old and they don't hold their value all that well. They don't wear out as fast as cars either, so buying used is typically much smarter. Somebody's buying new ones all the time though.

 

 

Guess I'm an idiot, although until now I didn't realize that the mere purchase of a new F150 Lariat made me such. I just thought that having a nice truck was pretty cool. Why was I so naive? Now, I'm crushed.

 

What is the next thing in the profiler's manual after "idiot", because I have some other nice stuff that I've spent too much(evidently) $$$ on? Maybe I qualify for the idiot's Hall of Fame, or some such thing. Just sayin'.
