I drove it on a "test track" layout about 4 or 5 times. It was unbelievable.

You lucky dog! I'm not sure I could handle driving it. I almost pass out when I see one driving down the road now as is. Driving it would make it worse. . .

My wife just doesn't understand how I can get so excited and aroused by a car.

But I can't explain it to her at the time. . I'm all like. . @##@!$))!!! E_______ !@(!@K@$_)____________. . .

My Michell Gyro SE turntable and also the Shanling CD-T100 CD player. Makes me wish I was a machinist so I could make such cool bits of metal myself. If we're talking cars it was the Honda Insight. Saw it, wanted one bad, didn't have 25 grand...But hey, not currently having car payments is nice too.

Oh yeahhh!!! I totally forgot about this one.
When I first saw this sub, I just got to have, not one, but TWO.
It's a good thing that Chris didn't charged me an arm and a leg for them

i saw first saw this in '71, it took me ~28 years to finally get one:

i first saw this in '83, it took me ~17 years to finally get one:

i first saw this in '95; it took me only three years to get one (and to wait 'til the power was upped ~40%)

i still don't have a pair of infinity irslll's, which i saw about the same time i saw the oracle.

Well ahem, well i found a must have about 3 yrs ago when i was 18. Which was a Magnepan MG .5 QR/SE. I made a deal with my mom and borrowed 1000EUR to have them. Still have them today, my first High End Speaker. Since then there have been a few must have but none like the .5 ( the 1.6, 3.6, Pathos Classic One, Projector, Krell KSA etc..)
