Not with a whimper, but a bang!
This is R.E.M.'s best song imo. A comment I found on youtube about the song: From Wikipedia "Losing My Religion" is about "someone who pines for someone else. It's unrequited love, what have you."[7] Stipe compared the song's theme to "Every Breath You Take" by The Police, saying, "It's just a classic obsession pop song. I've always felt the best kinds of songs are the ones where anybody can listen to it, put themselves in it and say, 'Yeah, that's me.'"
Pining away !
I just listened to the guys singing this song at what is obviously a much later point in time and the song sucks in comparison to the original version. Different lead singer changed the sound a lot. I didn't know it until today but the band members of this group changed about as regularly as most people change socks and underwear.
Man, that car sure brings back memories ! SS 396
My cousin had one of those and it was a hoss (375 horsepower iirc). I made a trip of about 18 miles on a very crooked road with it in 17 minutes if they were telling the truth (I wasn't looking at any watch, just driving). Wouldn't try to do it today but back then I was invincible (and dumb). Only reason I did it then was because my cousin had brought a couple of young girls up for a visit and one of their dad's said she had to be back home by dark. We got down to the county seat and the water pump went out on it so by the time we got one and got it in it was getting late. Bobby (my cousin) knew that I knew that road lots better than he did since I lived here and went down there regularly so he asked me to drive. And get back as soon as I could. I don't think those two girls opened their eyes on the way back, lol!
70-74 had a 69 hemi-RoadRunner tunnel ram 2 Holley 850s, Crower roller cam, TRW pistons, Hooker headers, Mallory dual point almost all work done by Chuck's Speed Center when they were still on 7th st. 1973 wife bought a stock 70 hemicuda dirt cheap at Bill Luke Chrysler-Plymouth. Of course gas back then was 23 to 45 cents a gallon. What I wouldn't give to have these two cars back today. Paid $1800 for the RR with just headers in 70 when it was only 8 months old and we got the cuda for $3200.
1950 Merc 4-door sedan 1964 Riviera 1972 GMC Sprint SS 1967 MB 230SL 1975 BMW 2002 1979 Fleetwood Brougham All awesome, in their own right.
I'll take it. In 75 we (wife and I - asked her to fetch the tools LOL) built a 27 t-bucket roadster - real metal body, not a kit. After about a year and half a friend and I drove it to bike shop where he was getting his bike worked on. The owner of the shop saw it and immediately offered to trade a really nice 56 panhead chopper for it. I told him no but he kept making offers over the next few weeks. We finally agreed that he would add $3,000 to the bike offer and we would trade. That was my first Harley. It was a hardtail/rigid frame and I am glad I don't own it now. My a$$ wouldn't be able to take it. We bought a 2000 wide glide and have spent a bit puting custom wheels, handlebars, paint etc on it. It was the bike that I had my accident on in 2002. The insurance didn't want to pay to fix it because it was almost $11,0000 but since we had it insured for $26,000 they didn't have much choice. Thought a few times about going out and buying a road king so our old bones could handle it a bit more but.... never got around to it. Wife likes the dyna too much anyway.
Those rigid frame bikes aren't comfortable but they have style. Make the nicest looking choppers. Soft tails come close but nothing beats a rigid for a show bike.

Here is the "car" I wish I had kept (one just like this one anyway, 65 model Electra Glide--first year of the electric start, last year of the panhead engine. They make beautiful choppers).
