McIntosh recognised this and outfitted my 1994 Ford Taurus SHO 5-speed with all McIntosh equipment including a MC4000M 6 channel 1000w amplifier. This was back in 1995 and it was a hoot to drive. dual McIntosh 12's, McIntosh mono amp for them and the front was custom, with 4" McIntosh Home audio speakers, their soft dome tweeter and some 7" midbass units. That was powered by the MC4000M. Dual EQT's and a MX5000 (with umbilical d/a converter dual burr brown 20bit) with the MCD5000 12 disk cd changer. it was bad to the bone!
Ur sooo lucky....
Ugh thats a rediculous amount of equipment to rep for free!

Woo Hoo for me then... I've got a new reason to use for my forgetfulness besides getting old LOL
Oh and the one injury that takes the cake was when I was younger... I ran over my hand with my own car.
The car was on a jackstand under the front drivers side and I had a breaker bar underneath it trying to loosen a support bracket... between me pulling with all my weight and the fact the car was on a minor slop, it pulled right off the jackstand and I almost made it out from underneath... Broke like 4 of my fingers in 2-3 different places and crushed a couple bones in my hand.
I still feel lucky that it wasn't my head.
By the way... The car was a 79 Trans Am and yes the parking break was on, but I didn't realize that the cable was broke.
I was getting a ride with a friend in her grandma's car and there was a bunch of stuff in the back seat so i had my foot out the door 1 foot in and was moving stuff to make room for my other foot. Before i could finish her grandma starts driving. and of course my foots hanging out the door. well the rear passenger side wheel ends up rolling over the heel of my foot and by the time she realises im yelling "STOP STOP STOP"..she stops...ONTOP OF MY HEEL... finnaly she realises whats going on and backs on off it... no broken bones, no bruses...nutin...luckily. it was only a cavalier anyways lol

Not related to car audio, but suspension (I know some shops do that too). A couple of months ago, I was changing the rubber bushings in my 89 Camaro for polyurethane and had the lower control arms and panhard bar out. While working on the panhard bar, I set the end of it over a large socket and used a smaller socket and 4 lb hammer to drive the old bushing out. Not smart... My hammer hit the smaller socket each time I swung it, but on the last swing, it glanced off the socket and hit my thumb across the knuckle. Where the hammer hit me wasn't the worst part, the edge of the panhard bar end (like an empty cylinder) was under my thumb. My thumb was laid open almost to the bone by that edge of the bar. It took 5 stitches to close a cut about an inch long.
I was working in a fuse box to the garage. and i was using a drill to install a fuse block... Well i thought.. man its a drill im not gonna get shocked. Ya i was wrong i took 240v. 120 will make your fingers tingle.. this went up my arm scared the S*** out of me. lol
Btw ill give dewalt drills props.. Mine experiences a 6ft drop.. and a 240v shock and it still works!!!

so does craftsman... btw does anyone know if they are still doing that "if your tool ever breaks, bring it back for a free replacement" thing? Cause I recenly broke 5 sockets, 2 ratchet wrenches and dont ask me how an open ended wrench is bent big time...
LOL
