Nice! During and after high school a friend and i built a stock car out of a 75 Monte Carlo and ran it in enduro series races. We did fairly well for a couple of young punks. It was a hell of a lot of fun.

You into bikes exclusively or all motorsports? I love road racing, don't care which class or organization, but not a NASCAR fan really at all.
You ever check out those maniacs at the Isle of Man time trials?
Yeah Isle of Man is crazy crazy shVt. Bikes in general tend to be my favorites, but I don't watch anything consitently. I have had a bunch of bikes since I was 19, in fact there is a Ninja in my back yard now I picked up last season for $400 and need to bolt back together since the weather is warm again. Needed a new chain, I cleaned the carb, and put some new parts on, just need to stop being lazy and get it ready for the nice weather. I was debating removing the fairing and turning it in to a streetfighter but too many fires cooking, and I have a terrible internet addiction lol
This series has 3 classes, and even though we are a new team, they keep sticking us in class A, which is the fastest.
There's a couple of screaming fast BMWs, and one old Lexus LS400 that is way fast and sticks to the track like its on rails.
I find when I'm watching Isle of Man videos from the bikes I have a tendency to flinch. I certainly don't want to eat a 100year old cobblesotne wall at upwards of 190 mph.

I know I flinch too, I can't believe those guys. One of the gals I work with has a Hayabusa and is a Huybausa internet club that meets for rides all over the place and they were on a ride and those guys love to push their luck well the were on a road that splits off real fast take a right turn on the main drag or come up fast on a stop sign, and after the stop sign the street, and then a cliff, well he didn't make the stop sign and flew like a hundred feet he died when the bike landed and bottomed out. Got to give him props for trying to stay on though, worth a shot I suppose. All the years I rode I never even made the Ton, got too scared at around 95/96 and then back off.
Hey do you all think $300 or best offer is fair for my Genz Benz LS410 rear ported cab I am trying to sell. I think they were around 700 new. I have it listed on TB for local and CL.
Also have these pedals listed and want to see if I have them priced fair

Yeah I have no need to ho over a Ton on a bike, I would love an old WW2 Harley or Indian to cruise around on.
Im a big fan of WRC, buts it real hard to follow in the states, not much of a rally fan base. Its growing a bit though thanks to Mr. Ken Block.

I had a 2005 H-D Sportster that I bought new and I loved but after moving to Virginia from PA, riding just isn't the same here, so friggin hot all the time and I live in the boring coastal flat lands, so I sold it and had a dual sport 650 for a while then sold that for, and thought I was getting out of bikes, but then I started missing them and got a little Ninja 500 to mess for short trips and to work and the occassional weekend jaunt. I still would love to get one of those fiberglass VW trikes or dune buggies, so 70s and always wanted an old VW of some type.
Tonight Cancer Bats are here with Kvelertak and Black Tusk, and then in two days it's Dillinger Escape Plan, The Facless and Royal Thunder. Trying to decide what I'm going to go to 
Cool bass eyeball!
What amp did you get/instantly forsake?
Sounds cool man, off to a good start. So is Electric Machete kaput now?

Oh man, totally forgot Evan Brewer is playing with The Faceless now. Gonna have to go to that show.
Since bikes were brought up today and loading gear vehicles in the past, I think would be the perfect gear hauler for Doomer bassists. Even comes with a photoshopped girlfriend lol.
Alrighty time to start the tourbox sign up. I mm going to have a tourbox of my current models for 2013. It will include Cthulhu Fuzz, Wizard Fuzz, GT120 OD, Murder Two, the HM2 Clone, Olde Dirty Bass, Volt Thrower, and possibly a few other models of mine in there. Along with those pedals it will include a Shrine Fuzz from Magic Pedals as well.
The following requirements for each person on the tourbox are:
1. Post recorded clips or video demos for every pedal in the box, this can be done on bass or guitar or both
2. Keep the pedals no longer than 1 week (barring certain circumstances)
3. Pay for shipping to the next member on the tourbox list.
People who agree to those following criteria will enter their name and I will randomly pick from the list until I fill the allotted number of slots.
Please email me at [email protected] and ask to be added to the list of potential candidates.

Currently GASing for a chorus pedal to finish of my board for the time being. I've got one in mind, just need my fuzz to sell. If any of ya'llz are interested, I'll hook up the doom room discount.
You made me give my chorus pedal a second chance and decided to keep a chorus in my chain, lol
Amp is a genz Benz streamliner 900. I'll give it a go at the gig this weekend but I don't have high hopes. It dirts up a bit but sounds un-natural and no where as good as the GK's or the orange. But it would be used primarily clean so one gig to see if its a keeper or not. EM is still kind of a band but no drummer and on hiatus since we fired the last drummer. The guitar player is in 3 other bands so its boils down to him when EM comes back to life. I wouldn't do EM without him and in no rush. The drummer on the recording may end up being the missing link and he might spark it back up. But then the drummer might not want to do that many projects. He is currently the drummer in my cover band and temp/permanent drummer in hey Zeus. EM would make 3.
I am so out of the loop technology wise, what do you guys use to record with, one of those little hand held audio video recorders? I keep thinking it would be cool to have something to take to shows to catch at least the audio but video would be cool too, to record stuff and make some cheesy youtube pedal reviews, lol
