Ah the dreaded dealership experience. I bet the salesmen actually cause the manufacturers more lost sales than closed sales. No offense to the few good ones as my wife used to sell cars.

They were great times. I'm 48 now but back when iwas 16 to 18 we could pick up the very best muscles cars all day long for around $2000 bucks. I rememember the Supebird being crazy priced being over 7500!!!

I never had a problem breaking lose. Disengage your traction control. I have a few minor mods that kick the HP up to about 450. Otherwise stock (no tune).

I starting playing guitars about 15 years ago as a result of living in the city and only having one practical car, both of which curtailed my car hobbying. I was hooked. I sucked, still do, as a player but I loved it. And I found you could collect classic 60's Americana without needing a large garage. Now I have about 30 pieces, originals and reissues but the 64 Strat is my pride and joy. Took me years to find an all original that was also a good player. Picked it up 4 years ago in Texas. It's an early 64 with the grey bobbin pickups and the spaghetti logo and it's made me a believer in Mojo. For whatever reason I pick up that guitar and inspiration strikes and my playing is a notch above. It's the classic target burst; would have loved Sonic Blue but I'm not paying that crazy coin. You play, collect?

Great look. I would imagine most wise folk would decline a race seeing this beast pull up beside them.

Nice, sorta like Chevy/Ford, I ended up on the Gibson side of the coin.
I have a wine red flame top Les paul custom with black/gold hardware that I have since put EMG 81/85 pickups in.
An Epiphone Zakk wylde edition
An Ibanez blue/black/grey quilted maple RG series
Godin LG sun burst with P90 seymour duncans

My pride and joy is my limited edition first run Les Paul Robot Guitar, I know the robot part is kinda gimmicky, but I like limited editions, and the paint scheme is great, and its the best guitar ive ever played (IMO obviously). Picture below:

Ive played with my father-in-laws american strat and it is definitely a great solid guitar, les paul just suited me more, tone wise

Nice. I love that colour although the robot guitar was a bit pricey for me. We always pay too much up here. True what you say about Ford/Chevy being like Fender/Gibson. And although I prefer the look and feel of Fenders who doesn't love the tone of a classic Gibson. I've a '64 SG Junior, a Dave Grohl 335, an Epiphone Supernova, and a '03 '59 Les Paul Custom Authentic at the moment and I'm always on the hunt for a good '61 Style SG, a Trini Lopez, ideally in Pelham Blue and the best acoustic ever a J-45. Based on your guitars you are a serious player if not a killer shredder I'm guessing.

Like the colour scheme you have going on. Kinda reminds me of my car although the lighter blue looks sweet with the stripes.

Dumb question, but in a m6 should you shift during a burn out? If you do, is the clutch mandatory?

How so? Isn't the breaking of the shaft from high torque and traction at very high RPM's. So dropping the clutch at that rpm would just spin the wheels and get little to no traction, how exactly are you going to break those shafts?

Get an automatic, then you can burnout like Dale after he won at Michigan.
