Yup.  Me too.

But i'll go with two. 
My 192 777s(both pairs) are big, heavy skis, built with the soul of a race ski.  They don't turn that fast, but they're ooooooohhhhh so smooth at speed.  So, the only car I can compare them to would be a 1994 Chevrolet Caprice Classic highway patrol police cruiser.  Cop motor, cop shocks, cop brakes.  Both can be found on ebay cheap too.

195 SuperBRO blems.  Other than Darth Vaders' personal TIE-fighter, the only vehicle you could compare these to came to life in mid-1987.  The Buick dealership sales managers' GNX.  They don't look like much, but if you know what you're looking at, you give it a lot of respect.

My K2 812s remind me of a a 66 GTO. 


Long, lean, and built for speed with  a real smooth ride.  My less vintage skis are just skis, but the 812s are a true classic.

Smell that?  Winter's coming!

I find it's the lightness of simplicity which facilitates agility around the curves to success :-)

Um, no. They float, and skim, and can spin on a dime, they are designed to release friction rather than enhance it.

Lightness of simplicity? Or is it shallowness of insipidy? Obviously you can't tell a signature from a post, this does not portend success.

The heaviness of the complexity fuels the force behind the dart that hits the mark.

Atomic Bentchetler = Jeep Wrangler Rubicon jacked up. It feels funky on the highway but put it in its element and you will be grinning ear to ear

My skis are like an Old style sleeper Dragster. Beat up primer coated 57 chevy, looks like it is held together with spit and duct tape. But under all that rust and primer is a sweet tuned performance machine. One that you never want to bet against.

Golly, is this how you treat newcomers here? You can take your 'heaviness of complexity' and do what you wish. I much prefer simplicity and lightness :-)
