Today's experiences

1. Classical music is by far the best on car radio.

2. Chickens really do run around with the heads cut off.
Chicken soup is really good.

3. Ford Tempo/topaz is junk if your engine mounts break at slightly over 100K miles.

4. It is good to get car manuals for every auto I have. That's including Haynes, Chiltons and most FSM volumes. Then you can pretend you know what h3ll you are doing.

5 All things considered life is good.

I notice that the older I get, the more I can tolerate talk radio.

And I'm with you on the classical music in the car issue.

Funny you mention that . . .

I just put a system in my Bronco II, and the F150 has had one for some time. The funny thing is though, when it comes to programming the radio stations, I always program a classical station. I always assume that I will be driving one day and just need to hear something that I can "meld" in (is that in the right context?). I find I do my best day-dreaming while listening to classical music. Scary it's while I drive though, huh?

If you hear instrumental instead of Bass, stay off the sidewalk!
