Traded trucks... No, I still own all of them. Drove the F-100 over to parents house, leaving it there to do some work in the coming weeks. Finally getting the V8 Ranger home for a little while. Hopefully the driveshaft CV joint lasts longer than a week this time.
Ripped about six CDs to
FLAC so and put them on a nano USB drive so I have something to listen to while driving around in the Ranger other than hip-hop, Mexican polka music, and rants about culture war nonsense. Now I want to drive around so I can listen to music.
How does FLAC compare to MP3? I need to go through and make sure all of mine are ripped and organized properly. I did it to MP3 in the past but that was a few hard drives ago and metadata is all off. Might be easier to start over.at this point.
I was ok with CDs but everything is going mechless now. Only broadcast station worth listening to is classic rock, and during my morning commute it is all talk. Other than that it's all what you described, but replace polka with gospel. I've gladly paid for Sirius in my car since I bought it to have better options, but getting tired.of.paying that bill, plus soon to replace radio in car and that will delete the Sirius tuner.
I’m pretty confident that I could build a running vehicle from the parts I have sitting around.
I feel you on that. If we include the 85 Ranger (its not running) I think I could build two, and a drivetrain for a third. Only one shed, but a house with no SO and no visitors to clean up for can hols a bunch of parts.
Crystals?!?! Step 1 should have been to replace the radio.
Yeah, got me wondering how old that RC truck is. Easy start sounds newer, but using a crystal radio sounds old.
