It does get above 3 bars for certain.
The guitars were largely a very unwise (objectively, anyway) use of my GI Bill money! I obtained most of those guitars during law school, and borrowed my way through school - as a result, I am certainly paying for it now. Average attorney salary for a first year is $35k/yr in my state. I'm doing quite a bit better than that (I own the law firm - my partner and I have an associate, and a semi-retired attorney who works on contract in our office). If I landed an "average" job out of school, I'd be selling the guitars and wouldn't have the car!
The Les Paul with P90s is a 1969 model which has been refinished. It originally had min-humbuckers which were replaced with the P90s prior to my getting it. I had it refretted... Great guitar - one of my favorites, if not my favorite. That '69 Guild Starfire in the middle is another winner, as is the '67 Fender Coronado (the hollowbody up front). And the Rists - they're amazing.
I sold a bunch of stuff to fund my relocating my family after school. '64 and '65 Fender Jaguar, '65 Fender Mustang, '75 Fender Bronco, '67 Gibson ES335, and a few other non-vintage guitars.
Now that I'm not gigging and not playing as much as I used to, I may end up thinning the herd a bit in order to keep the Porsche properly maintained. I'm spread thin between student loan debt, mortgage, wife's car payment, business expenses, etc.
Anyway - too much about me. I appreciate all of you guys' help re: the car. I'll have a few more issues to get my hands around once I get my belt tensioned. Is this belt adjustment something that I can do myself? I'm a complete moron when it comes to mechanical work - so I'm a bit nervous about taking this one.
