    Mcintosh Stereo Upgrade Options

    I like tunes. The most impressive thing about that mc was it could play comfortably numb at full volume with no speaker overdrive flutter. The village of hygiene remember it for a long time

    2025 - 18th Annual Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale GT Forum Dinner - CANCELLED

    Lots of good deals both high and low! I don't get trucks going for what they are. It's not new - been doing it for a few years. I can see something like an old Power Wagon (the coolest truck ever) but a 70s truck going for 80K boggles the mind.

    Racing the GT - is it capable ?

    Short throw shifter is a piece of cake. If you have advanced mechanical skills, lots of patience and tools, including a press, you could do the pulley swap. You have to remove the supercharger, being extremely careful to not drop the belt, and not bend the fragile metal gasket, but the...

    Mighty Heritage

    Yesterday I went to the local pub - Twin Peaks - with my friend. I had started watching the Barrett Jackson auction on TV and asked them to change one of the many TVs to it. Today we went down and lo and behold the auction is on 3 of the sets! They said I started it yesterday :) So far some...

    Dummy lights on??

    You should invest in a code reader and get what it is complaining about. You can get a bluetooth reader and smartphone app for about $20. But battery is a good place to start when lights and gauges start misbehaving.

    Mighty Heritage

    Unfortunately the auction is only on a pay streaming channel... I do believe it is the first 05-06 to cross the $1M mark. It even beat out a NFGT that went for close to 900K.

    Racing the GT - is it capable ?

    Some privateers did take the base 05-06 and modify it for competitive racing. One team did surprisingly well. But there is no class that a straight GT can run in and the modified cars bore little resemblance to the originals. It's a fun car on the track though. I wouldn't take mine to the...

    Verizon text messaging problems

    I had an idea for a flip phone with rotary dial for us old codgers. I was going to make it from black baseline. It would have survived nuclear blast

    Whats Latest Battery Advice?

    Do you have an ammeter? A DVM category unit should work as long as you don't try to start the car. Disconnect the positive and put the DVM ammeter in and see how much current is being drawn. You could also take it to Autozone (the whole car) since I think their battery/charger health can read...

    Whats Latest Battery Advice?

    The charge to 100% time seems excessive. But once charged how fast does it decay? A month to discharge doesn't seem unreasonable especially if you have always on parasites. The trickle charger you have might not have less capacity than the parasites. There is a higher capacity Battery Tender...

    Verizon text messaging problems

    Not fully correct. Verizon dropped their text messaging APP, Message+(?). It had a red icon. They warned they were dropping it years ago and at that time recommended using the Samsung Message app. The underlying MMS/SMS system is still in place. This is NOT app related. Affected messages...
