Everyday now!

That's the one I forgot about Willy!

That was one thing unique to those cars. `Cause I lived at Cape Canaveral and drove up here a lot. Daytime was too crowded to drive that trip unless I had to. When I did it in the 9C1 it was like Moses parting the Red Sea. Imagine a Crown Vic with the spotlight could enjoy the same thing, but I could put it on cruise and folks would just move to the right!!!!! In all my other vehicles the left lane 52 1/2 mph folks want to dictate their dangerous speed to me when I've actually got a destination in mind.

Unless you knew what to do with them, the 9C1 (Police Package) is what they based the SS Impala on. The SS had less body bushings to the suspension and a more lightweight suspension. 9C1 had two oil coolers one in the radiator and one external, an external transmission oil cooler, aircraft grade aluminum driveshaft 3.08 rear end posi. It also had a less restrictive exhaust than the SS. Crayola seafoam green lifetime 100% silicone hoses. Help it breathe right, first rule with any new to me vehicle.. increase the efficiency! Upgrade the pcm a little, use F-body parts in a few places, Corvette starter, MSD Blaster coil, Magnecor spark-plug wires, Dunlop rubber. Rebuilt tranny with a 1300rpm stall converter! Dr Gas X-pipe installed correctly and Flowmaster 50s, converter delete. This engine produced no smog anyhow. Those simple upgrades and mine was a two ton 13 sec car, not a vette, but the cacaroacha-mobile , yeah B-bodies were big for the 90s could hang pretty good! Program I used at all those forums back then messed up the actual pics on my pc, but this is it before the vette dress-kit on the motor, the headlight pod refresh, and finishing the trim delete after the SS stuff and repaint on it.

You know if the LS2 had the reverse flow cooling like the early LT-1s ? My 9C1 could be driven pretty hard when it was hot. No problem, just turn on the AC the coolant went to the intake first instead of the heads and I could watch the engine temp go down just like the gas guage did in my `73 Charger!

Apologies @Davis It's not plum crazy, I like the stance of that one when I searched for retro 90s American vehicles. This one is more my speed, by the Roadster Shop with a 528 Hemi!

In the 90s I saw theses all over the place in Central FL @WillyBob Think they had the F-body (aluminum) LT-1 Dodge did the 10 cylinder Viper that was raw and literally vibrated you in your truck from across the intersection when they stomped it. But they weren't as accessible as that Chevy. These were definitely made with the retro angle in mind. Not quite like the soap-box-derby deuce coupe look. Probably more that I've forgot, I actually saw a couple of VW "Things" still being used when I was down there, remember them?

Another worn out LP replacement done years ago when my new Silverado had a cd player in it. Forte IIIs were made for recordings like this! Saw `em twice this tour, in Charlotte they did a freakin' medly for the whole d*mn show. Then down at the Omni they played a lot longer, did practically the whole new record and a lot off of Fragile and earlier, that made up entirely for the rip-off they did here, but the trip down to Atl. and overnight there was expensive at the big round hotel!

👄

When I hear the drummer, get me in the groove When I hear the guitar, makes me wanna move Can you feel the magic, floatin' in the air? Can you feel the magic? Oh, yeah💋

B..bu...but... I don't have BIG lips

If you start me up If you start me up I'll never stop I've been running hot You got me ticking gonna blow my top If you start me up, if you start me up I'll never stop, never stop, never stop, never stop Might be one time too many for this album here at these forums... but it is the time of year for over-indulgence!!

You are speaking truth there, I'm not wishing that though. The coaching, the environment, the offers & commits for the next few years, I just want `Bama to keep up for some yearly re-matches. Got no doubts about that either.

Hi @oldtimer I've got several of those, AudioFidelity made these hybrids very well, as well as their excellent 180 and 200 gram LPs. Albert Productions out of Australia makes an astounding sounding cd too. That cd above is close to good LP quality sound. I know the spectrum differences are there but nowhere close to what you get from cheaply made cds. They shut down this past May and the ones I was interested in were all gone or already marked way up when I found out about it.

Love YES, seen them twice and never picked that one up. Listening.... White car sounds reminiscent of older Genesis and the beginning of Tempus Fugit sounds like Kansas in their heyday. Yea I know the new singer came with this LP. Now when I went to replace my worn out Close to the Edge tried to get a good heavy LP. It came to me new with an intense short warp and noisy at the beautiful guitar at the beginning of And You and I. My tt tracked it well, but for $30 I sent it back. A regular here had the exact issue with the same LP by the same manufacturer across the world from me! The store was out of it in vinyl........ I picked this up and it's not as good as the sound on the LP, but it is real close. That's YES too bad I quit smoking pot and taking Lemmons Thank You for your youtube work vzqk50HD !

Beeeutiful @Tarheel Whatcha going to test `em out with? I like the Kinks Superman for the bass, Marshall Tuckers entire Running Like the Wind (exceptional LP) with the flutes and vocals, some Kansas Leftoverture for the harmonies. Then that leads down the road to Depeche Mode, 808 State, Eric Clapton, ACDC Powerage, Billy Joel and everything else I know well. Enjoy them Chuck!!!

I've been disappointed in the O line a bit this year but Travis and Trevor and --- and --- and --- are a force. Something very drastic would have to happen for Clemson to fall from relevance in the next decade.

@dirtmudd Never liked hearing that, especially first thing in the morning. It was a better day when 5:00 am was like this:

EVERY other team the last few years has!

hey @oldtimer

We all have an affinity for Klipsch here, me particularly for the Heritage line. I am not pretending to be a moderator, but it is your thread. Maybe modify the title to Cables, Coffee, Cones and Cocktails Just the pics and video of those works of art make me want to know your personal opinions on them!

Hey Mike that one I had on a cassette, excellent trippin' sounds from it. Your link is silent for the first two songs!!! This one includes them: But then it goes down to 240 for San Jacinto and each song has been posted by different people. Need to get a new copy!

They did not have labels on them. And he%^, I heard and of course felt a rib crack going over a parapet wall on one of those once. Did not miss one day of work but was practically in tears for six solid months with having to breathe, plus move my arms , pick up multiple fives and extension ladders all the time, spraying and/or backrolling elastomeric and such.

Since you enjoy picking apart things I state, I'll give it a try now 😂 Hear Steve Martin: 📣 "Excuu🎵uuuuu🎵use Meeee" A Yankee from Long Island taught me that term in New Smyrna Beach FL about `04. So blame it on that unionized hard-*** very good friend of mine. He took a shine to me`cause of my work ethic and Irish temper, we were a lot alike. footnote: not mad oldtimer, I got a grin and a big chuckle out of what I quoted

Dude, I could not find strings without blue except for the clear lights. I put them on an emptied string in case I needed it in the future to keep the sockets clean. I've only seen the blue pulled off in a satisfactory manner a couple of times, and this place isn't a multi-million art-deco or bambi & thumpers Frank Lloyd Wright place in Vegas! We've got Salmon, no Clemson Orange brick on a 50s small ranch house. **That wasn't a FLW in "Diamonds are Forever" It was someone that was an apprentice of Mr. Wright, John Lautner. This place could pull off blue Christmas lights! http://anguloarquitectura.com/en/elrod-house_diamantes-para-la-eternidad-1971/
