just my thoughts....

I'm inclined to agree with you. Heck, my Mustang had its original AM radio in it until only 8 months ago and I was fine with that. When it died I replaced it with an AM/FM, but even so it spends most of its time on NPR or KNBR (Giants Baseball). A CD changer is nice, but given my listening habits not something I really want to spend $700 on. I guess we'll see. I'm still waiting to hear from Jarid (I assume with the dealership being so busy he doesn't surf by here all that often). I'll call East Bay soon if I don't hear anything.
