Yeah, it probably is overrated in most cases but... Until you drive up to the gas pump, that 427 Rat and M22 between the fenders of a '65 Chevelle with the '65 LE8T's in the rear deck sure is fun!Originally Posted by Titanium Dome

You want what? Leaded? What the hell is leaded?Until you drive up to the gas pump,
Out.
Nah, that WAS "regular". Back when the "good stuff" was dyed orange or purple (so they tell me about "hi-test")...the sad thing is at 39 and with a father who was a mechanic and later a station owner, all I can really remember is when the price suddenly hit 65 cents a gallon!
But, back to the topic...I'll have to look to see whatever happened to Telex. Last time I noticed wasn't I seeing Motorola headsets on the NFL sidelines?

I'm with you man ! As long as we're off topic...Yeah, it probably is overrated in most cases but... Until you drive up to the gas pump, that 427 Rat and M22 between the fenders of a '65 Chevelle with the '65 LE8T's in the rear deck sure is fun!
Throughout most of the 80's, I drove a '73 Trans Am complete with a 455 and the "Rock Crusher" M22. It was a complete ball to drive and own and would out-handle anything it couldn't outrun.
I sold it in the early 90's due to some bad economic factors beyond my control...
When things turned around again, I bought a '94 Firebird Formula with the LT1/6-speed combo. It would do everything the '73 would, only faster, smoother and better while using about 1/2 the gas.
Yet, even then (and now) I still wished for the '73.
Nostalgia may be overrated, but not always....

The only link to the great old RCA company who made the famous LC-1A speakers Olson designed that I can find in Australia,other than RCA CDs,are cheap looking TVs that I gather are made in eastern Europe.
It is indeed sad when the great old names are sold to purveyors of junk to squeeze a bit more out a faded brand.

Great reads on the SYN-AUD-CON and James Ling . And of Note, I still drive my 76 Chevy PU truck - daily - as I have not gotten over its' feel (though it's now 4 wheel drive) not to mention that - including the purchase price (I didn't buy it new) I have less than $10,000 in it, including tires. It's been in my possession since 1987. Now if I could get that kind of longevity from the LE-10s, 2214s and 123s I own, well ...........
my 1st car was a 65 chevelle
but it 'only' had a 327.
