$$$!
For the last year or so, I've really been wanting a new car stereo, since all I had was the original stereo (almost 15 years old - it's a 91 Corolla) and a pair of $30 speakers that I blew months ago. As a result, all I could listen to was the radio and even at that I had to do so very quietly and without any bass at all since nudging the bass dial caused the speakers to emit loud crackling noises.
So, my Dad was extremely generous for my birthday gift and gave me a $250 Future Shop certificate. I figured that I'd lay down $150 for the stereo, maybe $100 for speakers and about $50 to have it installed. I was right on the money for the stereo, but the cheapest set of speakers they had (which are what I picked up) came to $170, and installation was closer to about $150 thanks to the fact that they had to mount the rear speakers in some fancy way due to an oddly placed spring in my trunk.
Anyhow, I suppose I'll just have to sell my body on the streetcorners for a couple nights a month. Of course, if I don't, I can always just live in my car and listen to tunes all day. Mmmmm, quality speakers....

I think I can help you defray some of the cost of your new car radio deck player son. I mean we are still talking about your body aren't we lad?
In my experience a young man's body can be capable of anything...for the money. We are talking about the money aren't we my boy? Why don't you let me show you exactly how I'm going to give you the money
remember son?
the money
Ok, on the real, his new stereo plainly thumps. When Cavan put on the Blue album and played In the Garage I started to get a bonner. We clould only blare it for one verse cause our chicks were with us but if I was Cavan I'd scotch guard my seats befeore I had me in the car again. The new stereo plainly thumps, that's what's up
Wow, what a Dad!
Yeah, GRC was totally excited. You should have heard his childlike whooping when I turned up the volume.
No dilemma there. Get the speakers. What's a few months in your car? LOL
