Not an emission control device to be found is the bigger issue. I go to an annual classic car meet with over 300 cars. These cars are all driven frequently and the air still stinks when they all fire up. We have just forgotten how bad it was all the time before controls existed.

True but, it's also about old engines burning modern fuels. As for how it was vs. how it is today I have a very good memory. I grew up in a household that lived, breathed, ate and slept motor vehicles.

My PS4 died this morning, so I ordered a PS4Pro RDRII Edition w/game and controller. I know I am late to the party, but better late than never! LOL

I want an OLED TV now...

I usually buy Sony, but I know Samsung and LG's are pretty good to. Any suggestions on which model OLED TV? I am currently rocking an ancient Bravia XBR6 Sony.

Thanks in advance!

I'm surprised that someone didn't have a jar of this along with them -

For sure for sure. We have several old car shows every year down at the fairgrounds. Coming up the hill from the fairgrounds, following some of the 40s and 50s cars reminds me of how cars used to smell -

At least they smell better than horses

I hate their phones, but I have always liked LG tvs, so I would say theirs. I haven't upgraded to a PS4 or bought a new tv because I want 4k, but the one I want is a $3k tv... So you're not as late to the party as me. My shelf still contains a PS3 and a Wii.

Thanks for the input. I have been reading reviews, and the 65" LG C8 looks like a good compromise between quality and price. Now to see if one is available locally to check out.

That is exactly the size and model my son recently bought. He is very happy with it especially with the PS4.

My oldest son recently purchased the same one and it is absolutely gorgeous. I have to avoid going to his house because it makes me want one.

You guys posting about it is making me want one! I used to upgrade my tv fairly often until I cracked down hard on my spending, so my current tv is like 6 years old, which is rare for me. I really want to go to 4k because I'm not really an audiophile, but I'm definitely a videophile.

Wow! Ok, looks like I should just order it then! Thanks!

Same here he keeps nagging me to get rid of the old Samsung plasma which still works great. That was how I knew exactly what size and model number he got. Almost untouchable at the price point.

If you all want a bigger TV, why don't you just move your chair closer to the one you have?
