I find all kinds of crazy stuff at my local thrift shop. I mostly go there for typewriters, vinyl LP's and VHS tapes. Found a few model kits and tons of loose Lego bricks. Just recently I found a really nice Yamaha steel string acoustic guitar with case for $24.99.

I'm thinking of using the Police/drag notchback kit with the New Monkey's GT vert kit, only thing is the notch is 1/25th and the vert is 1/24th. -
I buy all the 8 tracks I see at my local thrift shop. They sell for 49 cents, I resell on the Bay for around $3-5 each. I even found a sealed recordable 8 track......!

Classical on vinyl. Sometimes Frank Sinatra, Buddy Holly or Gene Krupa, vinyl as well. -
What song(s) make you wish for an open road and no speed limit?
webestang replied to Jantrix's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
I have those gears and BBK 170 mph speedo, headers, Dynomax Mufflers, no girlfriend but mine is a convertible. Of course that sweet sound of that 5.0 just makes me pop the cassette out.....LOL -
Until I found the widescreen DVD of the Big Bus a few years ago I had only seen it on censored TV. Just as funny as Airplane (1980).

Best- all the Scorpions concerts I've been too. Going to fly to Vegas in April to see them there during their month long live in tour. Loudest- Judas Priest. Best sounding- Bod Seager. Best seats- Aerosmith -2nd row center. Met the band- Foreigner. Foreigner 4 tour 1981. After the show the band went to a restaurant that a friend's brother worked there and surprised us. So many other concerts.

Oh yeah, LOVE that place. I've had a few of my typewriters fixed there. There is a documentary called "California Typewriter" that talks about a repair shop in CA and the "resurgence" of the typewriter. The doc was done by the same peeps would did "Rewind This" about VHS collecting (which I do as well). Oh and check this out...... https://typewriterrevolution.com/manifesto
