Daytona 500
a few months ago i replaced my 180 watt Sharp surround system with a 500 watt KLH 5.1 system......WOW! it has 5 tiny speakers that i mounted high in the corners of the room and one on the wall behind the tv as a center channel. it also has a 150 watt front-fireing 10" sub-woofer that shakes my whole house!
i waited months to hear "crank it up!" during a race. ive never been to a race but with the volume at 40 (60 is max) i swear it was like being there! the floor and just about everything in my living room was shaking!
hated the way it ended though. nothing against MW, i just hate a shortened race.

We have a 65" screen tv with a Bose surround sound system. So we hear (as wildjon300ci says)"...boogety boogety bogety AGAIN!" and the house starts shackin lol.
I didn' t care for the race ending as it did either. Nothing against Micke Waldrip just wanted it to go the 500 as it shoulda.

We crank it up and hope all the neighbors come over. Love having company.
Ya know, I don't like it when Nascar does everything they can to make sure they get to the 1/2 way point, but to stop the 1st race of the season - especially since they have night lights now!!!! I'm sure glad we gave up our season tickets. I like the Homestead track's set-up better anyway.

Fox sure beats the hell out of CBS/ABC/NBC or anybody else that trys to cover a NASCAR event, The enthusiam that FOX brings along with their camera angles (the shots of Ryan as his AllTel car destroyed itself) are simply in a league of their own.
I'll take DW anyday for a sportscaster. I hate it when Fox loses the rights to boadcast at midseason.

I have this little character flaw, makes me care what other people think. Some might call it being considerate of others. It's the way I was raised I guess.
I listen at a level that I can hear it, but anyone that doesn't want to doesn't have to. Other peoples loud music and televisions is one of my biggest peeves and one of the biggest reasons I can't wait to get a house and get out of my dang apartment. It shows a complete lack of respect for everyone around you.
I may sound like an old codger, but that's just how I feel about it.

I don't like to hear other peoples music either but the race is just so important to me even if I don't like the way NASCAR runs the races with everybody running basically the same engine.
