Funny how that works, I catch myself looking in the mirror once in a while and thinking "what the hell happened to me". But overall its been a good ride, hopefully to continue on a good while longer. Y'all take care!

Nice... I think that you and I just became friends....
Great post OP!!!

My older brother had a 75 Firebird w a factory 8 track player.. wore some BOSTON, The Eagles, Zeppelin out!!!

Anyone use the old folded matches trick under the tape when the 8 track would eat the tape....?

Those were truly better days....
