Supposedly Fender or Gibson (already stuffed it cause I can't remember exactly who did the research ) did research on the average guitar player and found that 1 in 10 people who started playing guitar would end up playing guitar for their lifetime, and over the course of their life they'd buy 8 guitars each.

When it comes to P-cars, never. The correct number of guitars to own is very well defined and documented: n+1. Quite similar to cars - but with a much lower barrier to entry and maintenance costs..

I've been in several houses now with a pinball machine or two in the kitchen. Funnily enough as n approaches the limit, the SWMBO variable approaches zero.

What I always struggle to understand though, is with the insane cost of these engines, why people drive them without air filters? I ran mine on the dyno, with and without air filters and it made 0hp difference. I was hoping for a couple of hp just for the 'bragging rights', but nothing.

reggiegums Posted 5April, 2023 Report Share Posted 5April, 2023 Can someone please educate me on this car: https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1971-porsche-911-e Is the motor a 930 motor? Looks NA to me. Seller in the Q&A states the wide body is factory- is this possible? Why did the bidding jump from $30k to $100k? Isn't $100k overpriced?

He states that it has been up dated to a 964 turbo look , Not that it is a wide body, And for 100k good buying I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
