    Gotcha. Holy crap, $112 for cable? I remember when I lived in Newport News as a kid and we had cable for like $40. We didn't have it for long- even that was considered "too expensive."

    Huzzah for Paul Simon! I love Simon and Garfunkel. I've got all of their records, (yeah, records- they were my dad's/uncle's from back in the day.) and I even have Art Garfunkel's Watermark album.

    I got a 1997 Tacoma and when I worked at the dealership I grabbed a stereo out of an 05 scion tC, It plugged right in and with a few shavings off the fascia surround it fit like a glove in the dash and sounds amazing compared to my old crappy stock head unit! Great option instead of spending tons on a new aftermarket unit. Check online, people are practically giving those Scion radios away!

    I've owned my truck for a little over a year now and still have not ever put a single CD in my stereo...I can't even remember the last time I bought a CD. But then again I have bluetooth w/plenty of music on my ipod and XM so I can't imagine when I'd ever need the CD player.

    I still have mix CDs on my visors and use the disc player several times a week. Notably on my Wednesday commute home, when the shitty NPR affiliate here broadcasts the Miami-Dade school board meetings *in their entirety*.

    And, no, there are no other affiliates in this area to listen to. The closest is WQCS out of Fort Pierce/Saint Lucie since WXEL went to a music-only-cause-we-suck-at-fundraising model a year or so ago.

    WLRN blows goats if you aren't republican, immigrant or hispanic

    *threadjack off

    But, yes, I still use my CD player. I just burnt a copy of Hugh Laurie's new album to check out, since I won't be anyplace to buy one retail till prolly early next month.

    Automotive sound engineers refer to an in dash CD player as a hot brick.

    Use my CD a few times every week. Mix it up between that and Pandora one.
    I still love to collect CDs, vinyl, shoot even cassettes if I like the album art.
