Oh, and just in case you don't like the Ferrari you can take the Countach for a spin...lol

200-watt amp? Maybe I should bring a crane! My back has trouble with my 50-watt amps already! I'd like to hear and see it though - post some pics/videos!

I have long lusted for the original Countach, and that one is particularly gorgeous.

Mine was a 1986 Subaru GL, the fastback style one. Slick looking for it's time, but considering it's 70-odd horsepower it was about as fast as an octogenarian with ankle weights.

When I went from carrying two saxophones and a flute to the gig, to carrying a complete PA to the gig, I had to get something bigger.

Closest for me was my 1999 Cougar. Nice compact and speedy car, but tons of trunk space since it was a liftback. I very nearly bought a Honda Del Sol before this, but turned it down for it's postage-stamp sized trunk - it would've had difficulty with one average size guitar amp...

Bringing it back to the music discussion! I personally find it more fun to have an audience that enjoys what I do. My main audience these days is my 8-month-old nephew, who seems to enjoy literally anything I play on an acoustic guitar - gotta love an enthusiastic listener!
