and since we're on the subject of shocks, are monotubes that much better than twin tube? just wondering because most aftermarket "performance shocks" are twin tubes...like Koni's for instance...

Depends on the application.

closest I'll get to camping is RV'ing or cabin renting; will not touch a tent

That's easy. You can sell the original Shelby and buy a new one along with a nice house and garage to store it in and still have money left over for fuel, insurance and maintenance on both the house and car.

Tent is from 1977

Of course the damn zipper worked this morning. Oh well, fuck it. I am going out on the boat and gettin' drunk.

WOW that thing is old! Maybe a gift from long ago?

Alrighty then:

Best ones for a commuter car?

Best ones for a weekday commuter/weekend racer?

Best ones for an all out drag racer?

Best ones for an all out road race/autocrosser?

Best ones for a work truck?

Major rainstorm here and right when it started raining I had to go to an exam. Had to cross a couple flooded intersections...and saw an Audi Q7 driver affraid of going through 8 inches of water

Anyone make frequent trips to u-pull it / junkyards ?

I'm looking for a pair of hood vents from a LeBaron / New Yorker Turbo. Online places want $60-70 + shipping

I'll pay extra to cover a few beers

i rented a jack hammer and knocked apart 2 ponds. Today and tomorrow will be worse though, moving the concrete. We didn't have to knock the bottom of the ponds out thank god. we're just putting dirt over it to make a garden on both of them. Maybe a small water feature though.

It's what I camped in as a child.

Good luck Matt, i just managed to get a bit sunburn which is unusual since I don't ever burn. First day with no shirt and 95 degrees, sunny, and by a huge reflector (lake) might have made that happen though.

Anyone here have an 880/800 that could check something for me?

Mine is in the basement, and I don't feel like powering it up so a no is okay.

Curious if I can change the output level of the RCA's without affecting the internal amplifier.

**Want to use the internal amplifier to output to four speakers in my sisters boat. The RCA output to an amplifier for the main two speakers.

***Considering the 880 will cross over the internal amplifier and rca's at the same time what I'd like to do is turn up the output for the amplified speakers and down the internal ones. This would allow cruising with just the main four speakers and bumping with all the above once parked and not having the 4 then scream.

I don't think it sounds promising, not sure if I can check as I don't have anything hooked up to the internal amp and I'm using its active capabilities. What I think you'd have to do is hook up the interior to the front rcas or the front internal amp outputs and the outside speakers to the rear outputs and then use the front to rear fade option in the deck

Could you use line out converters from the internal amp which usually has its own gain. Not sure if that's exactly what your looking for.

anyone want to run a CarFax for me? Pwwwwwwwwwwease?

Broke up a good portion. didn't move chunks yet. Probably all day tomorrow. I won't get it all done though.

I'd be red as a lobster (I know because I totally did that once, not fun)

I am lucky I don't burn just turn brown

Even in the tropics, I just get darker.
