All this wonderfull new technology; lets see; my DVD palyer has been used about twenty times and now is broke. Will not read the disc. I joined Yahoo Groups for Eico's because I want to re-build my ST 40 and they do that there. Unfortunetaly; with Firefox you can't access Yahoo Groups. I bought a couple CD's from Amazon and they billed me twice. There is no info on how to contact them anywhere on their site. My friend told me of Gethuman.com and I had to access that site to get a phone number for Amazon; three or four days of nonsense. I can't get my pics to upload on any of the servers and all I want to do is show someone a pic of an amp so I can troubleshoot it. I went to Radio Schlock to get an IEC input for a chassis and the kid tells me they sell the cords and the chassis but they don't sell the IEC's. Then I have to look up all the parts on the internet in their store. My cable box failed and to re-tune the new one I had to spend three hours on the phone; then cancel all of my pay channels and then re-submitt them so I can get HBO for the Soprano's. My son can't get e-mail because of the router not functioning properly. Now the cable shuts down when I seek the info button to see whats on that channel. Verizon billed me twice for the same month. The phone can't record messages now we don't know why.Here's what I want, an RCA 25" dot matrix TV with 21 channels, 2-21 and all the old shows on. A rotary phone. All of the great old electronics shops that used to sell around here for fair prices. The old stereo shops back with used sections. The five newspapers that nused to sell here. All computors to self-destruct as of 12 am tonight. Everyone on the block to return to the old console magnavox stereo's everyone had and then actually played music on them; while they talked. Amazing that people used to talk. Record stores with new artists people actually want to hear. A 1964 Pontiac LeMans. With bucket seats and an FM radio playing Allison Steele or Steve Post. A cassette recorder to record all that great music from the radio and play them in my car with the top down.

Olds 455
Look familiar?
If you look back, mounted on the firewall, you'll see a TO-3 transistor in a little aluminum box. That's fired by points.
The engine is fed through a dual-plane intake with a Holley 830CFM annular discharge carburettor breathing through aluminum heads. Roller lifters ride on a 276 degree, 0.505" lift Comp cam. The exhaust is plumbed with ceramic coated Hooker Headers. Pretty good street performance but not the best on economy.
1983 Olds Cutlass
I always liked the looks of this model car. I like the older ones too, they're true classics. But this one is pretty special to me.
B&M transmission. Ford nine inch rear end with Moser Engineering axles and limited slip differential. Sway bars, front and rear, with large stiff springs and Bilstein shocks. Wilwood disc brakes on all four 16" Centerline wheels. All the good go fast stuff along with electric seats and windows, all the creature comforts I want. And no OnStar or other Big Brother contraptions anywhere.
No cell phones, no dash computer, no DVD player, no BS. Just 500HP and a cassette player. Wouldn't want it any other way.
