Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you are most likely either new here or completely retarded, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

NOTE: Next weekend is going to be the Halloween version of the FNGT, so come up with something scary for all the kids.

Wow, didn't know that (but I'm not a car freak like some).

Oh, I'm not a walking encyclopedia of car knowledge, I just know this one 'cause of the popularity and the song.

The Deuce Coupe is a popular platform for making hotrods. They had a V-8 and, by the time the fifties rolled around, were cheap to buy. These two things made them pretty popular. Hot rods back then weren't about buying the fastest import you could buy, it was about making what you could get look cool and run fast in a straight line.

I'm not an encyclopedia or anything, it's just that this is a subject I know about. If you asked me what size the engine was or how many HP it was putting out, I couldn't even begin to guess. Well, I could guess and probably be pretty close, given the era... That'd just be guessing, however.

Gotcha, yeah you can be around some people and man, they just idolize them, and know so much.

Your guitar collection is enough.

I know you have a boatload, my brother's friend can't play but man he is a collector.

I also have a decent collection of cars. I've been investing heavily in them, 'cause I love them and I'm pretty sure the prices are going to be even more obscene as we move towards alternative fuel sources. So, I get to drive some cool cars and they appreciate in value while I do it.

And, it's perfectly acceptable to collect guitars and not be able to play them. Some of them are valuable - and some of them are absolutely stunning. They're works of art, they're works of history, and they're (oftentimes) engineering marvels. I could see collecting while not actually being all that proficient.

In guitar circles - we call those people "blues lawyers". They've got money for the best gear, but they only know about enough to play the pentatonic minor. But, if it wasn't for blues lawyers, Gibson couldn't sell a $50,000 Les Paul "Greeny" (in very limited numbers).
