Confession...

My first was a 61 two door hardtop two tone Green Impala, 283 with powerglide. Mint shape, bought it in 71, ruined it in one year.

No need for a confession, Dan! I've got a couple of players that I'm happy to own that aren't Ricks. Having said that, I'm adding one more to the 'Rickollection' next week with another on order.

Just wait until next weekend when I post pictures of my latest 'non-Rick' acquisition!

I took it back, Paul. The red and Fireglo were uncomplementary. I thought about ditching all the FGs for JG but.........

Apart from that, the 4003 wouldn't fit!!

I've ordered a Jetglo Maserati Quattroprte station wagon.... should be delivered in 2307!!

Maserati has the coolest logo of any car make.

That's more like it Howard, this thread is about cars. Let's get with the show now! I've got a Fireglo Ferrarini with an oppositely opposed X24 coming soon, talk about fuel injection? This one has a tank for each cylinder and has all wheel drive including the steering wheel.

You mean to say the steering wheel is standard equiptment?

So you all want to hear about the red Mazda 1300 coupe I bought in 1972, do you??

John Cyg, I drive a Maserati. There is only one of those Trident emblems on the outside, and the name only appears in small letters on the decklid. On the interior, there is a tiny cloisonné badge on the steering wheel.

When I tried to buy wiper blades the first time, there was no price tag on them. I had the correct ones, but the woman behind the parts counter looked it up on her computer monitor and of course couldn't find it. She asked me "what kind of car are they for?" I told her, and it wasn't listed either. So she asked me, "who makes it, Mazda?"

Or the gas station attendant asked me "Who made this car?" I responded in my best smarta** voice:" Well, it was made on a Tuesday, so it must've been Luigi." He didn't get it. He thought I was telling him I drove a Tuesday Luigi...

That's a pizza isn't it?

There's a Luigi's pizza place near me. Their sauce is pretty darn good.

I have a MIM Fender Jazz bass that functions very nicely as a beater bass, for when we are playing a hot outdoor backyard party, etc., and I don't want to risk exposing a more expensive bass. It serves it's function.

I want to sell my MIM jazz along with my Aria ProII bass to make room for a beater 4003!

Christopher just keep checking ebay, that's where I got mine, you never know. Can't beat a beater 4003 and mine is one of my better playing and sounding Rics, I bought it from a female bassplayer, it came with med. gauge Fender flatwounds on it, she must have been a strong woman, haha! She said she didn't know the bridge pickup wasn't working, she thought it was kind of soft, haha! I let her go because I got such a good deal, she had a BIN at $550.00 I snapped it up in two hours, the back is all surface scratches, has a few little dents and things but it sounds and plays great. And thing with rics at least jetglos is that you can't really tell when they've abused unless you really inspect them closely.
Dean how can you play those things, they're like playing plywood with strings on them, haha!
