What stole your attention from HiFi?


Hey folks.

Its been a while since ive been on here. My interests have recently taken a massive swing away from the audio hobby.
This happens from time to time, but i usually end up back here.

The newest attention stealer is my car. Black 2004 Mustang GT. Been doing a lot of work on it to make it faster and meaner. Man, Cars are almost as bad and as expencive as hi-fi. Hell, if i woulda bought a boombox and dumped the cash i blew on audio gear, my stang would be pushing 600HP at the rear and smoking dodge vipers. ROFL

What has stolen your attention in the past from Hi-Hi?

Cant say "kids", that is too easy of a cop out. ;)

Hey Slapster, good to see you again!

Between spring and summer last year my '99 M3 had me turned away from audio for a bit. It went into the shop a couple times for some "goodies", and I just had too much fun throwing it around after, heheh. Plus, doin' all the research which led up to the mods meant I was in different chat forums other than the 'GoN arguing with 19 year old kids.

If you didn't spend all that cash on your home rig, you coulda taken your car over to Idaho and had Pat "Whipple" Malone [Lugnut] do the nasty with it. I'm sure you woulda liked what the evil professor would have done to her.

I haven't seen Dust To Glory, but it's definitely on my list now.

Dana Brown and his pop Bruce have done some really neat stuff. I just watched On Any Sunday for the first time a few months ago and was completely mesmerized.

Films like Step Into Liquid, Barefoot Adventure, and Endless Summer really take you away and immerse you into the experience. What? High end Audio?

I also enjoyed Stacey Peralta's Dog Town and Z-Boys and Riding Giants. These are all films that will make you forget audio for a couple hours.
