Thunderbird Club

[bobyoung53]

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.

I am too although I do much prefer pre-autotune music

Dang near put me to sleep! But the first 5 minutes were nice.

You know, that’s a good way to drift off to sleep. I’ll try it

I will not listen to obviously auto tuned music.

I will not listen to obviously auto tuned music.

I've read that at least 90% of it is autotuned. Consumers are so accustomed to perfect sounding vocals that they don't like real vocals anymore, also with just a light amount it's not obvious.

I bought my NR to match my sports car, my Boatmaster Estate Wagon although the color is darker. View attachment 4852937 View attachment 4852939

I'll see your Roadmaster and raise you a Custom Cruiser (Oldsmobile). Mine only has the 305 though. The Olds never got the LT1. Still a nice cruiser. Low and slow.

And a bird to match aswell.

Nice, I think I've seen that one before. Are the wheel covers stock? My wife and I love to go out long distance boating.

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.

So you’re bringing a couple batches to our next GTG right?

No, this was the stock wheels covers. The ones on it now are MOON disc covers.

The Boss got so much crap for using the early incarnation of it on Hungry Heart I’m pretty sure he hasn’t used it since. And Neil (obviously) never uses it.

Love everything Twin Peaks.

There's a trend on YouTube of people posting extended mixes of various music. I'm sure some people use such as just that - ambient melodic white noise. Only drawback is that once asleep, Bob may appear.

I should have known that, I've always liked Oldsmobiles.

 

[JJR58]

Next time you get to ride in the Cayenne, it’s quite a bit faster than the 911. You’d have loved the Cayman. I really miss that car.

Havin a blast with my cousins Cayman.
And that 650i isn’t bad either.

 

[JIO]

Love everything Twin Peaks.

You and me both brother - I'm going to re-watch the latest series over the holidays. Watched it twice so far since it first came out 5 yrs ago. It was the best yet.

 

[JIO]

Ok Geo. it’s classic. But Ten hours?

... at my house

If we can schedule the GTG close to a return from India. No preservatives in his products.

Gag me with autotune.

 

[godofthunder59]

At least they didn't start out that way... probably The Chambers Brothers and Entwistle solidified it primarily as a 'rock machine'.

Don't forget Overend Watts!

It’ll likely be fine. But if you are concerned, call Jason At Fret Nation and see if he can set you up with a single G sting. I’ll leave the remainder of this reply to my friend @PillO.

A short G string is rarely a concern. Big G strings are a much bigger concern.



And Ahem.

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?

Porsche has had a lot of different shift patterns over the years. After driving modern 6 speed shifters for years I nearly made an expensive mistake in an early 1970’s 911 with this shift pattern…
