We have a stereo and an Mp3 with a lot of good stuff in it but 98% of the time Penny and I just talk to each other. It's easier in the GMC but in the Ford, with the exhaust and the low gearing, you really have to speak up!

I'm with Catfish. We talk more often than not in the van, and as a matter of fact I don't think the stereo even went on on the way to the last evant. GSVR it was. That's Maine to NC. No tunes.

by myself is a different story. I dig all manner of tunes, but lately I have been listening to a lot of stuff like Doug Sahm, Tom T. Hall, an obscure country/rock band named Cherokee (who's album has REALLY grown on me for some reason) Flying Burrito Bros, and a dude worth checking out named Jim Mize who has a GREAT album called "Release it to the Sky". One song called 'Disappear in America' has the line "I-40 bound in a multi-colored van" which I just think is really cool.

My oldest daughter asked me to turn on the tunes the other day in Superbeast. I told her the stereo had not worked in about 3 years. They are usually watching TV when we travel to and from runs. She looked at me and said 'REALLY - I was wondering why the clock wasn't on" lol

I removed the factory cassette deck 2 yrs. ago and focused more on the sound of the engine & exhaust. This would entertain me from point A to B. However, I will be using a laptop to control much of my A/V needs. Being that I enjoy the sound of all music, providing it's mixed & mastered correctly, I'm pondering installing mid-range studio reference monitors. This way, even the songs you would never listen to, you'll find you enjoy.
