And I'm 50, with two sons getting ready to graduate High School (one this month, the other next year, a year early). I was sick of my family vehicle ('97 Dodge Grand Caravan) and missed my previous car ('86 Celica) and have a stupid commute (21 mi. each way on the L. A. freeways. I laugh at everyone else at the gas pump.

I definitely have gotten more looks while driving this car than I ever did in the invisibility-cloaked white Caravan, but it's not expensive enough to make those looks stick. My girlfriend thinks it's cute!

I've added window deflectors, a nice chrome tailpipe tip, new speakers (planning on a DVD player with surround sound soon). I plan to get new alloy wheels and tires when these tires wear out, if not sooner. No intake or any other performance mods. It's a fun car, and this is fun stuff.

"I have better guitars than you"?? Gee, you hurt my feelings. I only listed one GIBSON.............
Well, the two GIBSON'S you mention that you have are definatley great, I'll give you that, BUT the Fender? Come on....your going to put a "bolt on neck" up against a Les Paul OR ANY other GIBSON? You plugged in ?
Are we off topic?
Don't forget....."Only A GIBSON Is Good Enough"

OT? Yeah!

The Strat's my baby. I could sell it and buy a couple of Yarii. But then what would I play?

Dunno about that....
I'm 51 and STILL haven't got over it. It just hap[pens more slowly these days - when the wife isn't watching. "Oh, that? That's been on the car for weeks!" Yeah, right....

Amazing how that works!!!!! 47 plymouth parts car was delivered one day while she was shopping....it sat alongside the garage behind the house for over 6 months before she noticed it. Could be one of the thousands of reasons I'm single again!

The ultimate sign of maturity is being humble enough to not preach your way as the only way. By that logic you should be playing on a swingset somewhere... yes, eating an organic carrot and passing out pamphlets.

This thread rocks. Yay for old farts. I'm 22 so I won't post in here again. Fun to read, though.
