Only holds one Ovation in its case. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I had my mid life crisis. In 2001 I got a brand new M5 with no badges on it at all. It looked just like a regular dumpy sedan. Well, except for the tires fatter than Moody's ass, and 4 pipes poking out the back. From 0-60 it was fun. But the second 60 was REAL fun. Traded it in on an SUV and then found the OFC and started spending money on ovations and martins. That's life. Oddly, I have no desire any more for a high performance car. Today I actually drive a station wagon. By CHOICE!

I did this very thing for a customer who got one of the first CL55's that MB in Laguna Niguel delivered (after we put a killer stereo in utilizing the stock Becker head, & adding amps and signal processing using the the factory D2B fibre optik data buss).
This car was SCARY FAST, but looked no different (at first glance) than a CLS430... Only the exhaust tips and HUGE rear tyres gave it away. I'm pretty sure he was going after Vette's and Stangs for money as no rice-burner could touch it.
Do you guys like my "euro-type" spelling? :p :D :p :D |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Once I realized that the average motorcycle these days (including all of mine) can dust just about every four-wheeled vehicle on the road these days, I, too, stopped chasing after high performance. We fondly reminisce about the speed and power of the muscle cars from the 60's and very early 70's. However, when we check the real performance numbers, we find that today's only slightly tuned cars from Japan would pretty much walk away from most (but not all) of our beloved Camaros, Super Sports, Road Runners, Mustangs, 4-4-2s, GTOs and Vettes. In 1968, my slightly modified 1957 Ford turned 15.12 in the quarter mile and we all thought that was pretty good. Today's Corolla with a $300 chip upgrade would eat it for lunch, and the kids are absolute whizzes at understanding automotive technology. All the old rules about cubic inches have changed. Its all about valves, airflow and timing these days. I think I'll just stick to guitars. |
