I'm online AND on the phone at 10:02 looking for 4 tickets-any price, best available. None. Try 3,no. Try 2,no. Try 1, none...

Re: Anyone else here into vintage stereos.

Don't know if they are quite vintage, but my Boston Acoustics HD-8's are my pride and joy. Purchased them new in 1990, re-foamed in 2009. Still a great sounding speaker for their age. My wife was cleaning out the attic last week and she looked at me funny when I said in no way could the original box...

Re: US trip 2012

1. Boston, Mass. A must see. 2. Washington, D.C. So much history. 3. Grand Canyon. THE most beautiful place you will ever see. Went there 23 years ago...still wish I could afford to take my family. 4. NY city. Not my favorite place, but plenty of things to see and do. 5. Virginia Beach, VA. Just a f...

Re: i must say.....

I got my power back monday. No power at work until Weds. My parents 20 miles away still have no power, water-this is 7 days later. Sunday morning in CT was like a war zone. Trees down, telephone poles snapped, live electrical wires on the ground. Most schools have been closed all week. The saddest t...

No spec tired XX. You could get a base kit with bushings and mechanical speed control.

Re: First Track?

Hobby World, Tolland,CT. Burned, since closed down. 1987 Tamiya Blackfoot. Raced a Javelin in 1988, a JRXT in 1989. Ah, the good old days... No way! Didn't know about this one. Missed it by about a year. Wish they were open when I started. Grew up in Mansfield. Tolland would have been much closer t...

10 Years Later.

On the 10th anniversary of 9/11 I hope we can all in our own way take a minute to remember those that we lost ten short years ago. I try to remember those special moments that bring a smile to your face, and not the images being shown over and over. Also, a big thank you to all those who risked thei...

Eight inches of rain in a 18hr period. No power at shop where I work until yesterday 430pm-flat rate auto tech-going to get paid...

Re: Are people thinking about rc performance all wrong today

It's like the real pavement modifieds we run in New England-you get the car as light as possible. Then you add weight where you want it on the chassis to get your desired "weights" on each wheel. Fortunately, I have never seen someone scale an RC car. Granted we run strictly ovals, but to ...

Re: Sayings or phrases that need to die

Rare.
Vintage.
Custom.
Edinger.
Cadillac.
Worlds.
Classic.
Especially if they are all used together in one long run-on sentence in the title of an auction on a certain website we all know about!

Grill Marinade

Well, as grilling season is well underway (actually it never stops for me), I wanted to know if anyone has a good homemade marinade recipe for steak or chicken. Yes, I know how to open the bottle you buy at the store. I'm talking about something from scratch. Here's a London Broil recipe I've used: ...
