thehooligan Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Haha, dont get me started on cars... Cars and motorcycles were the last expensive hobbies that plagued me before fishing, lol. One day ill ship an original crx siR over here.... Quote
bass1980 Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Haha I think many of us gear enthusiast who are in our 20's to 30's was once a car enthusiast too. In 1998 I swapped a B16 SIR motor into my rust bucket CRX. Man that thing could fly, or at least it was fast to me lol. Everyone wanted to race me until I sprayed 75 shot. Then I blew the motor lol. When I first got into serious bass fishing and I started hearing all this JDM talk I was like wow even in fishing? Anyways back on topic, MOST of the time getting parts from Japan through their EMS shipping is faster than most US shops unless something odd happens at customs. I wouldn't hesitate ordering from a reputable japan shop. 1 Quote
5fishlimit Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 I just remembered that old show "Supermarket Sweep" where you raced someone to try & spend as much money as possible in a set amount of time in a shopping market... I bet that show would KILL if it was revamped as a fishing show. Too bad NOBODY could afford to send me thorough that place haha... One trip down the GanCraft or Megabass aisle and studio execs would have repo trucks showing up to take their cars before the episode was done being filmed. I remember that show. You had to stop by the ham and diapers to even think you'd have a chance to win on that show! Quote

Super User 00 mod Posted November 18, 2014 Super User Posted November 18, 2014 Hey Hootie? Where is that reel? Jeff 1 Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted November 18, 2014 Author Super User Posted November 18, 2014 Hey Hootie? Where is that reel? Jeff Jeff, it took one day to get from Tokyo to Chicago. 6,562 miles. From Chicago to Cincinnati is 295 miles. This is the third day I have been waiting for it to arrive from Chicago. When I contacted the Post Office, they said the guy carrying the package was walking as fast as he could. Like Raul said, I could have went to Chicago and picked it up myself, and been home by now. Oh well, the wait continues. Hootie Quote
