RE: New Toy (not a trumpet)
Ages ago I had a GT6 that looked very much like this one, only without the butchered roof and the stock muffler. I lowered it an inch, which made it corner quite well, to put it mildly, and with 3 SUs and a header, it was a madman when you used the go pedal. I sold it on the one and only day I didn't have to fix something on it:

@newell-post said in New Toy (not a trumpet):
Sorry. I used to love cars. Now I hate cars. They are a necessary evil, but I just want ones that start and run reliably and drive comfortably.
You have the same attitude as my wife. She now says "All cars are junk, no matter how old or new they are."
For a little bit of perspective, and since we're indulging in car/motorcycle porn, my wife occasionally used to street race against Pontiac Trans Ams back in the day and win, driving her sedan that looked exactly like this one:
autoevolution.comShe said "I liked the way it pinned my ears back when I gave it the gas." It got to the point that I spent one day per week repairing it.
Now she drives this, when it isn't taking its 4 - 10 days off per month waiting for parts:
Meanwhile, we're shopping for a newer sedan for her with the right balance of reliability, performance, and price.

RE: A little humour
@bigdub The 180 is the overall length of the tubing in inches, and the 43 is the measurement in inches from mouthpiece to bell. S is for silver, of course. It's a BIG mutha!

Ahhh... a picture of my ancestors!
But it was an unhappy ending for them. The Jericho people, that is......
Not much humor to be found in some aspects of Caananite culture, to be sure. The concept of trumpets playing a part in effecting conquest over evil can be considered a positive thing, can it not?

RE: Signed Trumpet Case
I have autographs from Chris Botti and Doc Severinsen. They're not rare, by any measure, but I like them.
