The one I saw in 1980 was really strange. Me and my cousin was in his car after dropping some girls off at a place that had bands on Sunday night.. this thing was cigar shaped and I would guess 150 ft long. Silver with 6 windows along the side. It would hover at times but when it when it went fast! And stop just as fast. It was not that far away and all you could hear was a faint hum. It also had a green marker light on one end and a red one on the other. I was not scared but I just could not believe what I was seeing. It kept going, and then stopping. Then it set for a bit then slowly change direction and take out again. Lasted for it seemed like about 5 minutes but it could have been longer or shorter than that, because I was in awe. It was 40 years ago but I still remember it pretty well. And think of it often still. I’m sure a lot of you doubt what I saw and I understand why. But I also know that if you would have been with me it would have been one of the top there things you ever saw.

I bet you it was a drone by the shape you are describing and the orange lights , kids flying drones are everywhere , these are fast and very silent UFO don't use orange lights or any lights --plus 1000 feet is pretty much low for any flying object as you would have seen a massive shape at that distance - and these drones are extremely quiet whereas a flying object would generate some wind /noise ---
It was much bigger than a drone you can buy. I’ve had those fly over. This was much much larger.

Im not saying this was from Uranus lol. It could have been from the good ol USA, Im just saying I never saw anything like it before and it made no sound.

I was at work at 09:10 at night and was on the top floor of the chemical plant I work at. I looked up and saw a dark shape that was shaped like a dog bone with two big orange lights on it one at each end. It flew right over my head maybe 1000 ft up and I lost sight of it in about 5 seconds, so I did not have time to take a pic. I ran thru the building and by the time I reached the other side It was gone. I was freaking and told the guys I work with what I saw. They seemed to believe me but without proof I was mad that I could not prove it. That was until a friend showed me a pic from Facebook. A friend of his mom took a pic of it and ask others what it was. I’m so happy someone else got a pic and I will try and post it in the next day or two. I’m at work now. I saw one in 1980 but had no proof. The guy that showed me the pic freaked when he saw it and showed me knowing It was exactly what I told him on the 4th. I’m pumped right now lol!

Get the CD player of your choosing. Get a schiit loki eq to tame the harshness.

The stereo sounds great! I played around with it today. Best sound I have heard from a factory stereo by a mile. It has 7.2 channel surrounded and 2 channel sound. Based on the recording both sound great and the clari-fi makes a difference for sure. The sub adds a great bottom end and it has 4 horn tweeters at ear level. They call them horns but more like wave guides.1200 watts in the car makes me think I need more power in the house lol!

Has anyone heard of it? It’s on my JBL stereo I just received in a car I bought. It’s made by Harmon kardon for different equipment lines. JBL and Mark Levinson being two of them. It is supposed to take compression out of digital music and make it sound like it did before. I will post a link when I get home from work. Haven’t had a chance to mess with it much yet because I had to go to work shortly after picking the car up. Any One know anything about it?

Oh, and uh... my Camry is hitting right at 277K on the odometer last time I looked. (2005). Wife keeps telling me to get a new car I ask why? Runs like a top, efficient.... yeah, the paint is getting dull but since I go buy seven (5-gallon) jugs of diesel, I currently as of typing this right now, have the steering knuckle for my backhoe in the trunk (hides the dead bodies) it's my little quasi truck. I'm ok with this in this car and would not want to do this in a new car. So I'll wait until it dies. Re-evaluate what is killing it and either buy a car then......or fix it.
I have a 2004 Camry with 286,000 miles. Still runs great. I just had my ac go out about 2 weeks ago. I’m going to fix it. I think it’s a valve. The compressor is good. It’s a v6 also.

I test drove a relatively new 330i when we brought the 2003 325i in for the airbag recall. It was almost like being propelled by a time machine to a different planet. Keyless everything, just this oblong fob that let you lock and unlock the thing. Then you pushed a button (with foot on brake) to start, and the transmission was familiar enough to our touring, except there were also paddle shifters on the steering wheel. When you passed a speed limit sign, the camera? would detect it and post the sign on the instrument panel, which was kind of creepy. The instrument panel was a digital representation of analog gauges, which I would guess is easy enough to get used to. It also had that "standby" engine cut-out mode if you stopped at a traffic light for too long. Keep in mind all this was without any instruction, being a loaner, and no manual in the glove box. Otherwise, it drove and handled like you would expect, precise and responsive.
So my question is (except for the classic bmw handling and smoothness) are all new cars like this? Is the toyota like that? Our newest car at the moment is a 2003, back when cars were still just cars. The dodge I test drove several years ago was normal enough too, except of course it had slushy handling and a cheapish interior. Today it seems like you need a mechanic and a software engineer if something goes wrong.
Yes mine has all the things you mentioned, except for turning off when stopped. The hybrid model may. I like the push bottom start and if you leave the fob in the car it won’t let you lock it inside. It also has blind spot sensors and it will stop you before you hit a car. It also will only let you get so near to the car in front of you, and lets you know if your running off the road. You can turn these options off if you want. You just have to touch the door handle to lock or unlock it also. The sales man told me some models are only coming out with hybrids, and that by the time I want another car they may all be. I like gas power. I know I’m distroying the 🌎. The stereo sounds so fine! It has clari-fi from hardon on the JBL. Haven’t tried it with digital music yet as I had to come to work, but it is supposed to reverse the effects of compression had on the sound of music. From what I have been reading it works well!

Oh ye of little faith. You might be surprised—If you get 300k out of that dodge I will buy you a ice cream cone😎! Does it have the heated tailgate?

Great point
I dug the car stereo thing when I was young . But man you have to be aware when driving .
Come on guys! We are getting older. But I think we can still listen to a little music! When I was younger I would drive while drinking a quart, rolling a joint, and trying to load a cassette in the player. At 57 can I at least listen to some music at a reasonable level?😎

I don't like that it is a Toyota...
I do! My work Car which is a Camry has almost 300,000 miles on it. Still runs like a top. I have a 2014 Tundra also. Great truck! This car may get me to the funeral parlor, but I hope not😎.

It has 14 speakers and 1200 watts. I played white the one in the car I test drove and it sounds pretty mean. Even has a sub. The wife bribed me with the stereo to get the car😎! Peace

Kroil works better than anything I have tried. Either his testing sucks or I’m full of it. I may vote for the second option.

I don’t understand what you mean? I used to have what the post is asking about. It no longer bothers me. That’s all I’m saying.

Not enough in the one a day,take extra.
This will never go away completely,all you can do is treat the symptoms and do what you can to keep in in check.
I have to wear steel toed steel shank boots at work all day,inserts help some but at the end of the day I can't wait to get them off.
I have some comfy moccasins I put on as soon as I'm off the clock.
We have lockers at work so my boots hard hat etc. stay there,I wear my slip on moccasins for the drive to and from work.
The guys at work give me a hard time about my slippers. lol:) but I don't give a rats *** what they say.😌
I bought some insoles about a week after the pain started. It does not bother me anymore. Everything else hurts, but not the plantar faciitis.

I had it a few years ago. I went to a running shoe store and asked about a good insole inserts. They watched me walk, then told me to get some powerstep pulse insole inserts. Two days wearing them I was fine. Save some cash this way. I still use them.

Mom used crackers or oats in her meatloaf. I can’t tell much difference between any of them bread included.

A guy and his girlfriend were setting on the porch. The guy was trying to stir up some good conversation, and asked his girlfriend to tell him something that would make him happy and sad at the same time. She thought about it for a minute, and then said, Out of all of your friends you have the biggest pecker!

Turned out great! took right at 3 hours. at about 235 degrees most of the time. Smoke profile was spot on. Very moist! I went a little easy on the spices first time out and im glad I did. I used saltine crackers, so I knew that would add salt anyway. I may add alittle ketchup to the meat next time, but thats about all I will change. If i was better at it I would post pics. You can say it didn't happen without pics and im OK with that. Its the best meatloaf that I never made!

That’s not what I saw. These lights were much bigger , round and on both ends. Very smooth with nothing sticking out. The pics not very clear but I will attempt to post it on my days off starting tomorrow.
