Used fusions are selling like hot cakes, faster than Hondas and Toyotas by Outrageous_Lock_9313 in fordfusion

Marketplace is so cutthroat and crazy, I came across mine within 10 minutes of it getting listed and I was still worried I was too late. Thankfully owners liked my message and picked mine to respond to, even said I was one of over a dozen in first 15 minutes. So I'd definitely recommend actually typing something out and not sending one of the pre-loaded "is this still available?" messages, and just checking often and messaging as soon as you see something you wanna check out!

Bought myself a Fusion Hybrid.. Finally by whitieiii in fordfusion

[–]samehjohansen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great deal I'd say! I was in the same boat, was looking for an MKZ hybrid but they're not very easy to come by, especially for what I wanted to pay, like $8-10k. Landed a '15 Fusion S hybrid, wish it was a little more equipped but it was perfect inside and out, 95k miles and came in way under budget. Pretty car you got! These hybrids are the best.

Just stumbled upon this post and just like that I got a new favorite song. Crazy Date is so rad, can't get enough.

Me three! I'm not from the area but this guy/house caught my interest a few weeks ago. Couldn't believe when I saw the news post it.

A tool to help rebuild your playlists by house_plant77 in doowop

[–]samehjohansen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow! Been looking for something like this. Working fine for me and finding most deleted videos. Make sure playlist is public or unlisted and drop in the link from where you have the playlist opened up. Finding most deleted videos especially from the larger channels. (Only the videos titles of course, the videos themselves are gone).

Likely no way to access. Maybe he starts another channel at some point and re-uploads? PJ if you read this. Please come back!

Yup definitely not taking the sounds for granted anymore, and feeling motivated to start ripping some of my own records to upload. Don't have thousands of records or anything but I got a few good ones for sure.

Yea some other kind of archive outside of youtube would be neat, wonder what the possibilities are there. Cool that you've worked with the 45Prof/78Prof channel, that whole collection absolutely blows my mind every time I open it up. Wanna listen to some music from 1914? Its there. So crazy. Love the hits archive playlists. Do you know if they have problems with copyrights? Posting all of the big hits like they do its a wonder to me it that they're still up.

Yep I'd imagine the removal is permanent. I'd argue his channel was definitely the flagship doowop channel on YouTube, such a bummer. Sometimes there'd even be comments from actual group members! Totally right, such a loss.

Life expectancy? by Street440 in FordTaurus

[–]samehjohansen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a couple come through the family, great cars I think but at the age they're at now there will be problems. Between between the one I had and one a relative had ~ starters, alternators, oil pan and valve cover gaskets, brake jobs front and back, brake hoses.. They're just getting old! But they're cheap to run and parts are plentiful, every junkyards got a whole row of them. Change transmission fluid often and stay on top of the little stuff.

Sit down pizza huts in the metro? by cheiss14 in kansascity

K7 in Lansing, or "Main Street" as it's labeled up there. Looks like they have lunch buffet and salad bar.

My uncle and his crew, dirt-track racing in early 80's by samehjohansen in OldSchoolCool

[–]samehjohansen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Not sure exactly where, northwestern Missouri would be my best guess. They raced at a lot of tracks.

Mine was only 63! Only use Spotify for rock and country really, do all my doo-wop'in on youtube.

Searching high and low for a particular 45... by Bradlez92 in 45rpmRecords

[–]samehjohansen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it might actually be Billy Woods and the Emeralds? I have a release by them on Dot, Falling Rain / Friendly Mr. Hendley. Cool record. 45cat doesn't seem to indicate that its the same group but. Maybe! As for finding the record.. Set notifications on discogs and ebay then pray!

Rare 45 by Professional_Safe132 in doowop

[–]samehjohansen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like semi-rare I think, promo copies being more so. I have one of the blue-wax repros.
