LOL, you are absolutely correct, it would have been perfect if I followed "Eruption" up with "You really got me" for the system's maiden voyage.
Unfortunately, my playlist was on shuffle, so it went to "Running with the devil". Still an awesome tune to break the system in with, haha.

Well? Please excuse my digression here, this is not a hijack. I just love a good conversation about good things in our lives. Mustangs and Rock are two good things most of all of us share.

Since its release in 1978, there's been an argument between my friends about what song should have followed Eruption on that album. It's always the same outcome now almost 47 years later so, we always seem to fall back into agreement that "Runnin' with the Devil" was, is and probably will ever be the greatest rock intro to an album that was also the intro album for a band! Although, we're hopelessly deadlocked between Eddie (Van Halen) and Randy (Rhoads) as the most innovate talents at the time. Until recently, I had always chosen EVH until I saw the Rockumentary of Randy and realized we were all off base by a mile. Rhoads should've been, unfortunately we were never able to see what could've been in store for music had the idiocy of his ending not come to pass.

I took the 2 spoke steering wheel to the next level with a hand stitched leather cover.

I was thinking about doing this to mine, the wheel just feels so thin compared to modern steering wheels. Can you tell me where you got the cover kit?

Today it is 35 and sunny here in Chicago, so I took my Mustang out for its last drive before putting it officially away for the rest of the winter. I just needed to run a couple errands, but driving the Mach instead of my boring daily driver sure made it a lot more fun.
