There's another one of you out there. Doug/Triple H doesn't see much use for a radio in his S, if I recall correctly.

Our Pantera does not have a radio. Who would want a radio when they can listen to the "Cleveland Symphony"?

You could have the entire string section of the cleveland orchestra in a Pantera and you still couldn't hear them with that big carb right next to your head...

I think you missed it. That's the 351 Cleveland symphony. It plays through a set of ANSA exhausts that are only 38" from the header flanges to the tips of the pipes. You can barely hear that big Holley sucking air 16" behind your ear.

"Cleveland Symphony" = Cleveland block engine...right??

I had a Cleveland 400 c.i. engine in a '72 Ford LTD, but it weren't no symphony

Add me to the list.

The first year I put in local stations, which are lost when you disconnect the battery. I did that during winter storage and never bothered to reenter them since I never have it on. I've tried it a couple times in rain storms with the top up and that's all.

I never put one in my MGA, since it the same deal.... love'n that exhaust and the sound of the road.

I'm a 50/50 on the radio use. For drives or short trips I love to listen to the car, other times if it's just interstate for 200 miles I will play the radio.

My latest iPod just died It still plays songs but you can not use any of the buttons so you have to listen to what IT decides to play on shuffle and you can not pause a song.

That's exactly what my last one did just before it died completely. Unless I get another free one I will not be replacing it.

On the plus side, we have SO many radio stations in NY compared to VT it's not that much of an issue

I used to like taking the wife's truck on long trips. It has the Sirius radio in it. Since the last update, I have not been able to find the station called "Buzzsaw". I guess it's time to drop the Sirius.

The sound of the S engine is great -- for a few hours. But cross country on the interstate it's nice to have XM or Sirius! Channel 14 on XM offers some nice Blue Grass to keep you alert and happy!
