Members peachcowboy Posted May 10, 2009 Members Share Posted May 10, 2009 Good to see you post again, let's see some pics of the Mustang. Did the car distract from other GAS? Is that what I need to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sixgunner455 Posted May 10, 2009 Members Share Posted May 10, 2009 That's just a different kind of gas, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members peachcowboy Posted May 10, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 10, 2009 That's just a different kind of gas, you know. And generally even MORE expensive. But hey, you fill the tank where you can, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Oldskool Texas Posted May 10, 2009 Members Share Posted May 10, 2009 I think he's out to prove a point: that pair of Recording Kings he bought satisfied him so much, he doesn't even need the Interwebs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has me baffled is how he can run the budget route in terms of his mini harem of guitars, his wife's ukulele and then recording, but throw the whole philosophy out of the window in terms of a juice guzzling Mustang. By definition, it's a mid-life crisis gone berserk or he's a serial short term collector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased, in my mid life crisis, a Porsche Boxster and after 6 months, lost my ass on a trade for a 330xi BMW. But that one I still have and love, due to the 4 wheel drive and the mountain state I live in. Now I have moved on to guitars, much less of an investment upfront than the Boxster, but an emotional buy nonetheless. Is your statement an enigmatic cry that it is SOOO un-coooool to have emotional twitches in what we like or what satisfies our desires to have what suits us for the now?I look to your advice on guitar purchases and upgrades, but I suggest that you look at your own collection as a touch stone.Personally, I love you , man. I honestly take what you say as gospel to your truth. Just let us have ours. Us being the middle age (or over) seekers of our own truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gary Palmer Posted May 10, 2009 Members Share Posted May 10, 2009 Nope. I see a short term collector in terms of someone flitting from one topic to another without a deliberate sense of direction, but not in a derogatory sense. Being middle aged, I'm still patiently awaiting my own mid-life crisis and Mrs P is dreading it. My own collection is one that's built up gradually over the past period of 37-38yrs from pieces I've bought or had gifted to me. I can count on one hand the ones I've sold, but can't see anything wrong in flipping if that's what someone's into. I suppose I'm more of a long term collector (Including tools, etc.), but certainly understand the buzz gained via the various approaches toward collecting.

Members wooglins Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 I have talked with TN.Frank recently. He is doing well and is absorbed by his Mustang rebuild. Has not been playing his guits lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has not been playing his guits lately.I sincerely hope Frank and his family are doing well, but it's no surprise his focus has shifted so quickly from one thing to another. It understandably explains his reluctance to invest more into his guitars. I hope he's still enjoying whatever time he manages to have with his Recording Kings.
