    I felt like it was time for a new avatar.
    I really like Anxious Box, but I feel bad for him it. :/

    The cover image from the the August 1977 issue of Stereo Review resonates :p with me at several levels, so I'm takin' it for a test spin. Seems appropriately cymbalic symbolic, you know? :|

    Those are Electrovoice "Wolverine" LS12 'fullrange' twincone 12" drivers, in case anyone on here might not be familiar with 'em :)

    nope, not me... not the Unabomber, either (unless they got the wrong guy...) ;)

    in mostly unrelated news -- remember these?

    I like those drivers in a folded horn cabinet, not perfect, but very likeable.

    Ordering mods for it before you even have it, that's what I'm talking about!

    Well, I don't mess around once I've decided to do something. I've got the money to buy it, or put a big chunk down on it, and I know I was buying a Scat Pack Challenger, and it would be my third hemi car and all of them have had catch cans (I've seen what an engine looks like with and without after about 50K miles), and it's a total no-brainer to have one.

    I have a billet tech catch can coming for my Charger R/T blacktop. Engine half covers are next as the stock Hemi cover traps ALOT of heat.

    I had a hell of a time getting the engine cover back on both my Charger and Challenger R/T's. I finally left it off the Charger. After I saw how much removing it reduced the heat soaking at stoplights, I took it off the Challenger almost from day one. It rained today, so no fun with the new car, I had to take it easy. The Perelli tires on the new car are really great.

    Perelli's are STICKY. Great tire. It's amazing how much cooler the intake manifold is after removing the "eye candy" cover.

    I can't find the pic, but a friend of mine went crazy on the cover of his Charger R/T's 5.7, it was about six colors and he cut some vents into it too. Too much work on a useless item, IMHO.

    ^^ good point ;)
    ...and it's not like it's an F-350 with duallies, either. :p

    in other internet news -- I don't know about all y'all, but I really appreciate clarity in signage. Like this one.
