I'm a big Honda fan, just well built cars to take a beating on the road for people like me who drive a lot but aren't skilled or willing to do fixes myself so I prefer low maintenance vehicles. Hopefully this one does the job as well as I'd expect it to.

My Dad used to collect old 5 series BMW. Then he went through a phase of only getting Alfa Romeo - we had two 164. An Alfa 90 which was really nice but hard to get parts for...

Now he collects Fiat Ulysses because he needs a lot of room for the missus and nippers and all their stuff for when they go camping.

Today I realized my disconnect with the modern ways to listen to music, and that while I'm barely 40, I'm a dinosaur when it comes to listening to music.

I'm planning multiple trips in my upcoming vacations that would require far more space than my old, but still beloved, faithful and reliable mp3 player; I spent a lot of time considering wether I should buy a very cheap but well promoted mp3 player in addition to the one I have, before even realizing that I have a modern smartphone with a music player, good quality and lot of free space both on the internal memory and on the external SD card.  :facepalm:

I guess I'll never get used to the idea of having music on your smartphone, I give so much capital importance to music that I'll probably always want to have a specific device dedicated only to play music.
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

I love 5 series BMW's, especially the late 90's early 00's models, I wanted a new one but they are out of my price range.

In my mission to limit the things I carry in my pockets the mp3 player was the first to go. Spotify makes it so easy to carry all my music around, you can even import tracks that aren't on spotify to your phone and listen to them through spotify and integrate them into your playlists.

Yea, dedicated mp3 players are old school now.  Load up the sd card on your phone, that's the way to go IMO.  Or stream if you like those services.

You and me both!   But now I have a smartphone that is full of music!   Thankfully I'm not a huge picture guy.

Yeah, I use an external SD-card on my phone to keep all the physical music I own, and streaming platforms to listen to the stuff I don't have. I still have my CD-player and my old mp3 player stored somewhere though.
This first band is Soen very cool swingy jazz fusion kinda stuff.

Hi DTF. Just in case no one has told you today:

- Good morning
- I believe in you
- You're doing great
- Nice butt

I needed this so bad!  Thanks Zy!  I’d say the same to you,  it instead of “butt”, I’ll say “couch”

So I had a quote come up in my Facebook memories from 2011 that I copy/pasted from a thread here. That got me thinking... Whatever happened to our hobbit? I see she was last actively active 3-4 years ago. I hope she's doing well.
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

If I recall correctly, Alice was short and referred to herself as DTF's resident hobbit or something like that.

Yeah, I remember her as well.  There's lots of people we could say "what happened to", or "why'd they leave".  Faye comes to mind as well.  Sigz, Seneca, Scrop, Ultimetalhead, Zeltar, Ravenhead.... lots of names lost in the aether.  Which leads to a bit of a morbid thought... I mean, DTFrs aren't immortal.  The only one I know of that passed was ViolentGreen, but there's a reasonable chance he isn't the only one.   :-\
