Sorry if you have posted this before. Did you fill the remaining hole? The picture looks like it's been filled and repainted. Is that the case?

Yes, i filled the hole and just had the raised center strip repainted

I bet picks disappear hitting that floor! Rock it!

Sure, whip out the "we have an ocean" card why don't you! We have woods, farmland, mountains, a swamp, a giant cave, all the bourbon anyone could want, low taxes and cost of living and lots of gold. There's even a small desert at Ft Knox. And Ashley Judd.....Never mind.

Well, it was worth a try. Cal does seem amazing, if not enchanting and I understand why many choose to live there.

Paradise ... but (as always) Paradise has a price.

So anyone here "win" the white bird? (ended on eBay for $282)

I had one of those for a while - eggshell white with blue leather interior

A huge tank of a car. Somehow, that's what most of my vehicles have been

An artist friend was "gifted" a late '70s T-bird (car) from his parents. Insane vehicle. HUGE front end - like a corporate conference table. Interior felt cramped and claustrophobic. Ridiculous car.

Unencumbered by the reality of work and other matters, given the opportunity, I would live in Alaska. Anchorage seems like a beautiful city with moderate weather. I might consider relocating November through March though.

I remember those - my granddad had one (that he let me drive while sitting on his lap.... ), and my grandmother (mom's side) had the Lincoln version (a '75, I think, MK V, maybe? Had the 460 engine....) in the '80s. Hood long enough for probably like 4-5 2021 cars

Thanks, man. Whats ''B/D'' tho?

The song is originally in Am/C. I'm assuming you're not tuned standard.

I think one of the biggest/best design solutions for modern cars was disappearing the front end as much as possible. I have always liked the '70s Triumph TR-6 (Chucky's wife drives a white one - super cool) but like other cars of that decade the hood/front end is huge and 'way out there'. Most modern cars have a front-end but it dives out of vision so you can see the road (and pedestrians, dogs etc) ahead. "what's that up the road... a head?"

Do young kids today even dance?

Yeah, they do. My kid danced all the way through a set i played and laughed at me the whole time. Beer may have been involved.

Speaking of 1962 - here's a perfect TSC's song I just discovered that we should cover -

Thr Shameless Pillars of Society could do that one. It would sound different with an upright, but it suits Amanda's range and voice. I wonder if she speaks or fakes French.

 

[Gaolee]

The original was cool.

The original is fantastic. I have been trying to get several bands to play it.

 

[Gaolee]

The 80s saw some interesting covers.

The first time i heard this, I was fairly altered in a chemical manner. It kicked my butt completely. The version I first heard segued into Where Did Our Love Go. I still think it is great.

As long as nobody notices Washington, life is good.

I think I’m picking up this Greco on Monday. I really don’t need another bass!

Trust me, this isn't just another bass. You really need it.

I do much prefer having a hood, within reason. I get pretty uncomfortable driving things where the hood is so short, I feel like I'm driving a van/CoE/cab forward type of vehicle. Even most of my "small" cars have had prominent hoods, like the '89 Supra I drove for years.

I think a number of people are like that, possibly one of the reasons trucks/SUVs remain so popular. Gives the feeling (illusion?) of having a bit more space & protection from the rest of the crazy drivers

Did my first gig on the ‘02 Gibson ‘Bird with Chromes. Gotta say, I like Cobalts a bit more, but they were decent

So far no-one's boasting - a fair price for that fixer-upper.
