Time to "Strat" my stuff

Fri, 2 Aug 2002 00:47:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Motor_Head - Wow, what a guitar. How do you write a hundred words that say, no scream, "Buy it!"

If you've read any of my other reviews, especially about cars, you know I usually like to throw in a bit of a story. Not this time. Short on story, long on...

Maximo returns minimo satisfaction

Sat, 20 Jul 2002 13:28:52 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Motor_Head -

I am an extremly picky game buyer. I thought that

maybe I was just way outside the demographics of most

gamers, but evidently, I'm not.

So, I'm mid 40's, middle management, married with kids

and I don't have a lot of time...

NetFlix: It's about time, (the 6 month follow up)

Mon, 7 Jan 2002 05:23:11 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Motor_Head - This is a six month follow up. I have left my original review intact following this addendum.

What a disappointment! I can understand service suffering a little bit with popularity, but this is ridiculous. The wait time for any new release,...

As good as it gets

Thu, 4 Oct 2001 21:10:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Motor_Head - I remember when confessing to drinking California wine was a serious social faux paux. My how times have changed. I have lived in California for over a decade now and only two things really keep me here, the wine and the weather.

I have had...

Oh, Bugsy, what have they done?

Mon, 27 Aug 2001 18:12:18 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Motor_Head - I’m no fan of the Mafia, nor gangsters in general, however given the ratings of “The Sopranos”, I would figure that more people would complain about Las Vegas. I took the tour and read the books and I know that Bugsy Seagal didn’t build the first...

Two Birds With One Stone

Thu, 9 Aug 2001 20:09:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Motor_Head - I often wondered why I had to buy a camcorder AND a digital camera to get the job done. Well, I don’t have to wonder anymore, because this camcorder is both. Yes, I know that this combination has been available for awhile now. However, I make...

Where's the cheese in this maze?

Mon, 16 Jul 2001 20:30:00 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Motor_Head - The unmitigated gall of some people. I had Earthlink for 8 months before going back to AOL. Yes, I said AOL. They are going in another review so I'll stick to Earthlink.

I really wish I could think of some clever slam to apply to their...

I had the bucks, so....

Tue, 19 Jun 2001 19:48:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Motor_Head - Man, what I year I've had. I've had to make sacrifices and compromises I never thought I would. I finally got some bucks back and the first area I was going to "un-compromise" was my car. I had been driving an 89 V-6 Firebird. It was a great little...

Financial necessity

Thu, 7 Jun 2001 19:54:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Motor_Head - As those of you who have read my other reviews know, I am a car nut. Certifiable. Well, things have materialized in my life of late that have forced me to make some choices. Choices about everything. Wine to cars to hobbies to women.

Now...

A Conscious Decision

Fri, 11 May 2001 20:04:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Motor_Head - Some time ago I made the conscious decision to prioritize things in my life and adjust my budget accordingly. To that end I now own a home in the Bay area of California. I also no longer own my Corvette or a Harley Davidson. I satisfy my lust for...

Always a good steak

Wed, 2 May 2001 20:25:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Motor_Head - In looking at my list of reviews, I realized that I have covered most all of my passions except one, steak. Not just any steak, good steak.

At 43 I’m not over the hill, but I didn’t just fall off the turnip truck either. Through years of...

Snob Alert

Mon, 30 Apr 2001 15:08:39 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Motor_Head - This review will be divided into two very distinct sections. One, the review of the wine itself. Two, the reason I cannot recommend it. Towards understanding my opinion expressed in this review, I should give you a bit of history behind the Opus 1...

I'm in Heaven

Thu, 19 Apr 2001 15:32:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Motor_Head - I though I had played some nice instruments before, but this is just out and out incredible. I wanted another decent electric, and it needed to be a hollow body. I like a hollow body because I can practice un-amped and get a good idea of the sound...

Still great after 15 years

Fri, 6 Apr 2001 14:36:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Motor_Head - I've always like these bikes. All the Japanese manufacturers make one. For Honda, it's the Spirit, Yamaha has the Virago. When they first came out they all got tagged "Wanna-bees", and that was 15 years ago!

Well, maybe their owners wanted...

What I Needed, When I Needed It

Tue, 13 Feb 2001 21:56:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Motor_Head - I haven't owned a regular vehicle in too many years for my ego to mention. I needed one, I needed it quick and I needed it cheap. I also needed it to be reliable.

This truck was exactly what the doctor ordered. It was fast coming on rainy...

A Perfect Classic

Tue, 17 Oct 2000 02:44:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Motor_Head - There is one and only one reason I didn't buy a gorgeous triple black Camaro SS convertible, I found a Corvette convertible before the paperwork was done.

They call me Motor Head for very good reasons. If it's a sports car or classic muscle...

It's only missing a soul

Mon, 16 Oct 2000 23:18:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Motor_Head - I don’t go by Motor Head for nothing. I have very few gray areas in my life and sports cars are not one of them. I guess I should warn you that if you want to get the most value out of this review, you really should read my (or most others) reviews of...

Sweet, Sweet, and Sweet

Wed, 27 Sep 2000 20:22:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Motor_Head - I have way too many guitars. I've got knock-offs, one of a kinds, and customs. This is absolutely my favorite. Whenever I even glance at it, resting there comfortably on it's stand, I have to pick it up and hit a lick or two.

This black...

No Virginia, there is no Santa

Mon, 18 Sep 2000 14:40:21 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Motor_Head - Review Topic: Sights & Attractions.

I feel sick, sick to my soul. I feel that deep melancholy that reminds me of the day I realized there was no such thing as Santa. Every now and then I need time off. Not just off, but away...

If I could just get this grin off my face

Wed, 23 Aug 2000 18:02:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Motor_Head - There is just something about a Corvette. Even through struggling years, awkward designs and first year bugs for each new body style, a Corvette will still draw a look. I've wanted one for years, O.K., decades. I could have bought one a lot sooner,...

Dan's Still "Da Man"....well skeleton anyway.

Tue, 11 Jul 2000 18:13:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Motor_Head - What's all this talk about the Playstation being a "dead" platform? Just goes to show you that a computer is only as good as it's software. The original MediEvil was a real blast. Who would think you could top it? To say I enjoy this game...

Not a "Risky" investment

Mon, 10 Jul 2000 20:35:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Motor_Head - I've always been a Risk fan. Perhaps because it fulfills my male aggressive tendencies without actually hurting anyone, especially my wallet. If you're a heavy strategy game fanatic look elsewhere. There is a fair amount of thinking to be done, but...

Old Habits Die Hard

Mon, 13 Mar 2000 16:30:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Motor_Head - I've owned lot's of bikes, and I mean lots. New, used, crotch rockets, touring, sport touring and cruisers. Everything from "rat bike" to driven off the showroom floor. I still love the Sportster.

Yeah, the 1200cc has more grunt,...
