When I was a youngster I rolled a friend's Porsche completely over back onto its four flat tires., he was not happy. It was about a 1974, not sure of the model but it wasn't the most inexpensive one, it was 3 or 4 years old when I did it.

I’m an eclectic for sure. I like most music. No get off my lawn from me. My guilty pleasures which would be embarrassing to some include Rick Nelson, the Go Go’s, The Bangles, etc. It’s mostly a SoCal thing. That’s one reason (of course Nikki has a lot to do with it) I love Silversun Pickups.....not sure most of the music I listen to would qualify as hardcore....it varies a lot

It has happened where that kind of variety has ended up on the same playlist
LOL - nope, no Fender SoCal Speed Shop axes here. But I did consider buying a sweet little P38 Lightening Belly Tank Salt Flat racer from a collector friend of mine (until I found out it’s value, way outta my league)…

Now that’s dedication. But I would have taken my short scale and Vox headphone amp with me. My Rumble 25 normally goes with me when I Travel, but that would be too much for a family trip to India.Unpacked, showered, and straight to my CP
Please post a photo collage of your trip!
Probably a 912. Looked like a 911 but had a less powerful engine in it. The only other thing they had back then (depending on the year) was the 914. Basically a street sized go kart. Fun driving car, not incredibly fast but super nimble, would be really hard to flip one of those but I’m sure it’s been done.
Is that with you in Peru or stored in Mass?
It wasn't a 914, that I know. It was a 4 speed and it had a problem, if you weren't careful putting it into 3rd it would go into 1st. I'm pretty sure that's what happened, I was going around a corner and think I slammed it into first by accident and the rear wheels locked up when I let out the clutch, hit the curb and it went right over. Is is possible to throw them into 1st at ahem....speed and lock up the rear wheels?
It's back at my brother's house in Mass. They're very strict out here letting cars in, either 5 years old or less or 30 or over.
The couple kids I knew whose Dads owned 914s couldn’t handle them when they lost adhesion and spun out. I know one ended up totaled. He walked away, climbed up the hill, and cried. Yeah. He was grounded forever.
A girl in our high school drove a Fiat X19. She let her boyfriend total it.
Mid engine cars handled great. Until they didn’t.
I’ll give it a shot once I’m back on my laptop. For the time being, I’ll hit up the foodies.
Cashew baklava, which I smuggled a dozen or so pieces back with me.
And then there was hummus and pita snack. All from my son in law’s factory.
I think I prefer his cashew version over the traditional pistachio.First pic:
I’m a Spotify guy. Pandora is good, but I love my Spotify. Only downside is the the Amazing Slow Downer app stopped working with it. That was one of my best ways to learn songs.
My brother just bought a Spark mini amp. He loves it for working out songs on guitar. It supposedly has bass stuff too. I really need to check it out.
I actually like both but I'm rare. I also don't drink that often, so my point is off the graph. What else is new?

Ok Geo. it’s classic. But Ten hours?
