He's just showing off now... big Dob, flashy (looking) car... he's compensating for something... lack of a Nagler perhaps?

Thats the thing though, it turns out I don't have to! If the car can take a solid tube 12in and base and all the rest it should have no problem with a 20in Obsession truss dob. How tall is your rocker box Dave?
There was actually a thread on Cloudy nights where a guy actualy fit his 20in in a beetle. I think thats why Euronymous came up with the beetle referance
Anyway, if I was showing off, I wouldn't be telling you I can only afford it because I still live with me Mammy! She'll be rid of me any decade now Kidding, another year or two for this housing downturn/crash to play out and then the car gets sold for a house deposit. Figured I better get the high value purchases in like the car and the scope before this leap year in case SWMBO pops the question on the 29th. My dreams of a sports car would be then over till I was balding and greying, and if there is anything I hate more, its seeing an old f@rt driving a young mans sports car
