It would be too hard to decide between Mozart, Bach and Wagner. I enjoy listening to Mozart the most because of the variety and I just like his better. But, Bach was so prolific and the Sonata and Fugues are really amazing when you study the structure of them. He wrote quadruple fugues (where four parts all follow the overarching fugue structure and when the four parts are played ALL together, they also fight the fugue structure. Its actually quite amazing to keep all of that head when composing. But, I would probably say Mozart anyway. If I had to choose one composition, it would be Wagner's Ring Cycle (its four different opera's) OR, Jimmy Buffet's greatest Hits. Which is in the CD player of my car right now. Donald H.

Re: [MBZ] Bearing kit and special tool? Now chaning a cv shaft too...
I do not know who that is. Having more fun, found the right cv shaft is bad so I am learning how much fun it is to swap over the older style shaft from my 78 coupe into the 83. Not really too bad of a job to do. I see no issues with running an old style shaft on one side and a new style on the other..does anyone see a problem with that? I am assuming that I killed the shaft and bearings because the car was riding so low and grossly overloaded on my 900 mile trip to Detroit and back. I think I am going to consider swapping out a sls rear from a TD so it hauls better. I have all of the parts, I wonder if they are any good..I might even swap the rear to 85 gears while I am at it and see if it runs out better on the highway.

This is a very difficult question. It would be too hard to decide between Mozart, Bach and Wagner. I enjoy listening to Mozart the most because of the variety and I just like his better. But, Bach was so prolific and the Sonata and Fugues are really amazing when you study the structure of them. He wrote quadruple fugues (where four parts all follow the overarching fugue structure and when the four parts are played ALL together, they also fight the fugue structure. Its actually quite amazing to keep all of that head when composing. But, I would probably say Mozart anyway. If I had to choose one composition, it would be Wagner's Ring Cycle (its four different opera's) OR, Jimmy Buffet's greatest Hits. Which is in the CD player of my car right now. Donald H.
