CARS and GUITARS

[Sarah93003]

I've had a couple of nice ones over the years:

1962 Chevy Impala
1966 Chevy Impala SS
1968 Pontiac Grand Prix
1976 Corvette L82

I had my Corvette the longest and I really miss it. I'm thinking it's time for another!

One of the things that I first noticed about my future wife was not only was she hot, but she drove a black '67 SS 396 Chevelle. Of course, this was in 1974, but that, to me, was one of the best-looking of the muscle cars. At the time, I had two GTOs, both 1969s; one red with a four-speed and one white with an automatic and power windows.

A few weeks went by, and I noticed that she had traded the 396 in on a brand new Spirit of America Chevy Vega. OUCH! And I STILL fell in love with her.

I traded my 69 SS396 in for a vega wagon when the service staion guy told me that gas would be hitting 30 cents a gallon soon. By the way, the back of that wagon was the perfect size for my dual-showman cabinet. I have a 96 Stealth now (and a much smaller amp).

The Stealth and the Mitsu 3000GTs were fine sports cars, until you started modding them. They actually were already tweaked
out from the factory. I own three 3000 GTs, one with 294,000 miles on her, and everything still works on her .......

That's a lot of miles! Where have you been driving her!

That was my first 3000 I bought back in '92. And I DID DO A LOT OF DRIVING with that car. It doesn't owe me a penny!

OK Dennis, confirm something for me.
While my Fender cases fit the trunk (laying left to right) almost like Leo created it that way, I have to lower the seats and put my Hallmark in laying front to back. As a Mosrite owner, do you have the same problem ?

...'scuse me for butting in but ...Hallmarks like to ride in luxury...

While the Hallmark Crocodile HSC is a couple inches longer, wider and a tad deeper than the Fender tweed HSC, they both fit nicely into my old Peugeot 306 -either in the boot or backseat

Absolutely correct. My '88 case (black tolex with the 'Mosrite of California' printed in gold) fits perfectly from left to right (sideways). However my reissue alligator case (G&L) for my P.W. '65 is a few inches longer and I too have to lower the seats to put the case in (front to back), in order for it to fit. But hey, that's the beauty of these cars, when you drop the rear seats, you have a portable mini van .

Paul, ours do too, but in 'the Fast and Furious' lane

Although I can probably find a PIC on the Internet of the Peugeot 306, I'll bet the Forum would LOVE to see YOUR '306' with it 'Loaded for Action.'
