i know this is gonna sound silly coming from me with ALMOST 9k in posts BUT you'll have 55k in posts if you keep making threads like this....wouldnt this belong more in the clubhouse BTW?


also not sure why you haven't figured out how he has that many posts.

1)he has been a member here 2/26/01 (the day before my 19th birthday)

2)he's a senior moderator so he's VERY VERY active and not just in our forum but over the WHOLE boards

and

3)he has owned lexus cars per his sig since 1996 (i was 14 then lol) so im sure he's very knowledgeable bout the different models so he can cover more than one forum. which also probably means (im assuming now) he's married and his wife probably drives a lexus also so even more different models to cover/ask about

One is better then the other, or more importantly they are all terrible for sound quality. Get an FM modulator, one that is built in, not wireless. Or hard-wire into the CD inputs.

Yep. We're driving the modern day equivalent to the town car or Park Avenue and the Lebaron of the 70's and 80's.

Reality of it is, many of us in the over 35 crowd would be very happy with only an AM radio for listening to Limbaugh, Hannity, Ramsey and various sports shows. My stereo is only turned to FM side on weekends when I can't find a good talk showto listen to.
You can laugh, but remember, like baldness and/or gray hair, it'll happen to you as well.

No, you're not. I do not, nor will I. I generally don't like proprietary technology so much so that I can't change out the battery if the thing dies without voiding my warranty. Such a ludicrous thought.

Huh? I would be hating life if all I had was AM to listen to, especially if I had to listen to what you do. I do occasionally enjoy listening to the radio broadcasts like I did when I was a kid, but that's about it. Music for me, thanks.

As for the tape decks, I'm rather surprised by it myself, but I'm sure they serve a purpose for some (as indicated here, you can get that crappy mp3 sound out of a tape).
