Off topic but always meant to ask, is your handle a symbol of your music interests by any chance?

:lol:
I'm unaware of a music reference. I would like to know more.

XIX is also the opening song from Slipknot's 5th studio album "The Gray Chapter", but Slipknot use zildjian's range of cymbals (Paiste's back when XIX was released actually) so it doesn't fit as perfectly as one would hope.

In my case I like the name "Zion" and XIX is just a roman numeral

Maybe they were thinking it was a supernova. Some did get branded SS for Super Sport.

Drove it! Recent purchase required some stuff (heater core, rear view mirror snapped off, blah blah), then I blew the cat off.
Removed, welded it back onto the turbo flange, lamented not having 3 elbows to disconnect/reconnect the plugins.
Visited a dear friend yesterday that had a 'Premium Sound System' head (with CASSETTE, yo!).
Surprised that the compressed used toilet paper speakers can actually sound pretty ok!
