My gear gives me away...
I touched on this elsewhere, confessing my frozen evolutionary state, with a modest collection of Harman/Kardon TOTL equipment from 1976-1992. My daily driver is a '97 BMW 328iS with sports suspension, manual transmission (how else can it be an Ultimate Driving Machine?), and factory-equipped with an H/K 12-speaker audiophile system with cassette and six-disc changer. It has a cool radio/hi-fi dual selector that optimizes either news radio from the front speakers or a multispeaker system with separate amplification. Like all my old junk, I keep it in 100% functional condition and intend to operate it as long as it is reliable. I enjoy being involved with my driving, and I enjoy spinning vinyl at home-- it's nice having somewhere to play the cassetes and CD-Rs I make as the suspension is a little stiff for a dash-mounted turntable. For pleasure, I ride a modified '95 Moto Guzzi Sport 1100, the earlier carbureted version. It produces its own music, and I would never think of listening to anything else when I am riding. Instant zen.
