    ...and here's the original studio video done, circa 1981... Man !!! ...interesting that both versions are awesome, and sound so good, even with 25 years between them !!! Sorry...probably should've posted both in the "Oldies But Goodies" forum :D :

    So while driving on a beer run today, I heard the tail end of a song on Sirius XM Tom Petty Radio... WOW ! Forgot all about this classic duet with Stevie Nicks...song just speaks volumes to me !!! Here's the 1st version I ever heard...from Tom Petty's "Live From Gatorville" concert, circa 2006 :

    OMG !!! Memories of my mis-spent youth ! ...bet I wore the grooves off of that LP, with a nickle taped to the tone arm...to keep it from skipping... Just LOL at what the youngsters today might be thinking of this crappy video, AND the song. All I can say is : "You had to be there..."...

    Buying a New Truck

    Well, I sold the 2004 Tundra to a young man for $6,200...I think it was a win-win deal ! He got a low-mileage truck for a decent price, in this truck-crazy environment, and I got a fair price for a 16 year old truck...:smile: Could've gotten more, but he seemed like a good Kid, he took it...

    Buying a New Truck

    Nasa, Thanks ! Width ? Yes... Length ? Not without dropping the tailgate !!! Bed is 64" closed , 83" open ! On my Tundra, I have an A.R.E. shell, and a Bedrug bed liner...both were SUPER for when I had dogs, but now that I don't (had to put our "Big Dog" GSD down in July :crying: ), I...

    Buying a New Truck

    GREAT tip, Pamkk !!! Thanks for steering me in that direction !!! That site has a wealth of info on the tips, tricks, pros, and cons of the Ridgeline...from real users (pretty much ! :D ) One of the criticisms of the 2020 and earlier Ridgelines is that it doesn't look like a "manly"...

    Buying a New Truck

    Thanks, Ravens Fan ! The tailgate drop-down or side-swing option is really cool !!! It has a short bed, but using the side-opening swing, I can get to stuff in the bed without having to reach over the dropped tailgate...:smile: ...and it has a lockable "trunk" in the bed !!! I was quite...

    Buying a New Truck

    Well, we pulled the trigger on the 1st dealer's offer...wouldn't budge any more on the price, but they were 2 hours closer to me ! Got up early on 2 Oct ; made the 270 mile drive up to Newnan, GA ; sat around in the dealership for 2.5 hours :banghead: (woman I had been dealing with was not...

    Buying a New Truck

    Surprised to get a new offer from a FL dealer today ! Out-the-door price of $39,450 !!! Down another $250... Are the dealers starting to look at quotas, and end-of-month/end-of-quarter numbers ??? Hmmmm...time to move slow-moving product ? Let's see !!! OTOH, how long can I string them...

    Buying a New Truck

    That's AWESOME, Pamkk...Thanks for the feedback ! :D We had a surprise "close encounter" with Hurricane Sally, here in NW Florida, but our house sustained no damage ! Lost several privacy fence panels, but our power and internet came back on (relatively) quickly...about 12 hours without...

    Buying a New Truck

    Okay...that 2004 Tundra just hit 136K miles...still running great, but started making some funny "grinding" noises when cold...maybe an axle ? Power steering pump ? Don't know !!! Nothing else fixed, either...I just don't drive it in winter, even in FL ! :D So I started out looking at new...
