I usually bought cassettes when I was a kid. I haven't had a turntable in years anyway so I have been slowly selling off what vinyl I've had left. In fact, I recently sold my copy of this promo 3 LP set from Warner Bros. that I had had since 1971- bought with a form cut out of the inner sleeve of Alice Cooper's Killer.

The R/T is now really my main hobby, but there are a few things I still do as well as some other stuff I plan to get back into in the (hopefully) not too distant future, like....

-PS3/X-Box
-Hobby Grade R/C's (Brushless Electric & Nitro Powered)
-Movies/Music



-Dirt Biking (mx, trail w/e)
-Fishing
-Building Customized R/C Drift Cars

This is all of course after the family and friends, but I sure do miss my YZ :crybaby:
