    Can't quite make out what those pieces are, but at some point in my audio journey, I think I'd be proud to say that's mine.

    I agree the gear is nice, I just wish it were set up better.

    That being said maybe that was the only way to set it up in the room, no idea unless I was there. But unfortunately I think a lot of times with newcomers to the hobby they go for this symmetry/compressed layout to their setup instead of spreading everything out and putting some actual distance between things.

    Also I'll be the first to admit that my own setup is inherently flawed and is pretty much an abomination (due to space constraints). But I'm also not posting photos of it online!

    I assure you that gear is not played at any loud volumes with an amp on top of the subwoofer... Lol. Thing would be vibrating audibly for sure

    Just last night I was reading about BLMC's very ill-fated Austin America. An intelligently designed vehicle with one little problem. Well... two, actually.
    https://www.curbsideclassic.com/automotive-histories/turkey-week-kickoff-1968-1972-austin-america-yankee-doodle-disaster/
    the automatic transmission that would drive the America was to be a different engineering approach that broke just enough new ground to become an early adopters regret. The four speed,torque converter autobox that was adopted sat directly beneath the engine and shared that units lubrication. This was a risky arrangement given Americans aversion to checking or maintaining engine oil while the car appears to be running smoothly. This would turn out to be the major factor in the destruction of this car’s reputation. The oil level was specified as critical in owners manuals and factory sales training, but for Yank drivers that rarely looked under the hood, the arrangement was a grenade rigged to explode when they neglected to be vigilant.

    Oh, and:
    British Leyland (the company had changed its name officially in 1968 just after the America was in production) also thought that their engineers had solved the suspension issue that turned many American car buyers away from the stiffer, more responsive European ride that was a staple of British cars.

    Designer Alex Molton had dreamed up a system that used what was essentially water and alcohol passing through springs and bladders to cushion the ride of the 1100. It was dubbed the Hydrolastic suspension and while innovative and clever, it was subject to the same real world shortcomings as other infant technologies. The system required de-pressurization whenever suspension or chassis work was performed. This required a special tool that could only be found at BL dealers. Further, a car that lost pressure would settle on its haunches or list alarmingly to one side until the problem was addressed, thus rendering the unit undrivable. This caused lots of bad will between owners and dealers when the units began to give way after just a couple of years of hard use.
    Other than that, they were great, I guess...

    This person took up 4 parking spaces in a busy grocery store parking lot. I'm assuming to avoid getting door dings.

    Aggie wife sends her husband to the store for a gallon of milk then tells him, and if the avocados are on sale, get me six. He comes home with six gallons of milk, when the wife asks why, he said, well, the avocados were on sale!!
