That's way to much estrogen in one house :brickwall:

Reminds me - I forgot to mention that Mrs. ACME is coming to visit you & Mrs. Hemibeep for a few months... :basketcase:

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Hey you can have Mrs. Moparchris and her hormones to really round out the action!

Been there done that

 

[Basketcase]

Pretty screwed up, huh?

Could get interesting if you three are sitting around doing shots of your favorite adult beverage...maybe accidently put an adult movie into the dvd player... :basketcase:

:jester:

[Basketcase]

...think about it...ex wife,soon to be new wife under the same roof, Steve has guns in the house........I sure wouldn't wanna sleep there.....

 

[dobie]

Neither do I.............
:jester:

 

[Basketcase]

hey did you ever get your truck figured out?

 

[dobie]

No, sure didn't. In fact, I had a tire explode on me, luckily while parked at home. For now, the truck's out of commission. Kinda wanting to sell it too.

 

[dobie]

Finally got the radiator back from the shop today. I had them recore it and put in an extra core, for a total of 3. Can't really hurt it I suppose. Total cost was $275. I was quoted about $425 for a new one. Got it put back in just in time for fall.

I got the starter fixed in the truck, but still no tires. Those will come at the end of September. After that, I still gotta figure out why Im only getting 4 mpg's..........

Is that an 8 track player under the dash in the satellite?

 

[dobie]

Yeah, it sure is.

 

[sam z]

I'm jealous. I want one for my car, I just have to move my fire extinguisher.

 

[dobie]

It works good too. Its not original, but period correct. Just gotta find some 8 tracks!

 

[Roadcuda]

Who made that one Steve? I have my Automatic Radio Fm 8-Track bought new back in the mdi 70's in my Road Runner. It does work but it depends on the tape I put in it. Some work better then others!

 

[sam z]

Go on ebay or something, they (8 tracks) have to be around somewhere. I saw a box full at a flea market
a week or so ago.

I saw an early 70's gold Torino Cobra in autumn of 1992 while I was stationed at Fort Devens, MA. Was walking
up the road with another Marine, buddy of mine that had the same respect for cars that I did. Anyway, as we
got up to the car and could check it out, I spotted an 8 track player in it with a few tapes. It totally set the car
off for me and captured that era. From that point I've always wanted one.

I've talked to a few stereo shops and guys that know that crap about hooking up and 8 track into my
existing system (cd player). I basically get the same response: If you have enough money anything is
possible.

They were pretty much like that when they were brand new!

How many guys remember having to jam a matchbook on one side or the other to get their 8 track tape to work?

 

[Basketcase]

me!

 

[Roadcuda]

I had something different. I played clarinet for many years so I used my old reeds which were tapered at one end so it was easy to adjust as needed to make it play right!

 

[John69RR]

I remember those days very well. Anyone use the adapter to play cassettes in an 8 track?
