To each his/her own...but I agree, something about ZZ Top and that old school rock coming out of a Porsche....ouch.

Now I am 38, and have actually seen ZZ Top live, but tend to gravitate towards the modern alternative stuff. I like to keep up with the times and enjoy the likes if Franz Ferdinand, Green Day, Death Cab For Cutie (folkish and quite mellow...you'd be surprised), Foo Fighters, Jack Johnson, and the world's greatest rock and roll band of all time.............U2.

As a matter of fact, I just had a new Kenwood head unit and MB Quart system put in my '97 Boxster and am loving this new level of sound.

Next up...a new amp and perhaps a subwoofer! WOO HOO!

Any good music - I have pretty varied tastes, probably non-Porsch-ish, but here goes:

THE Boxster song for me: Green Day/Holiday. Always played before and after track.

Interstate/freeway music: All the way from Nat King Cole to Allison Krause & Union Station to Keith Urban to old REM stuff. Variety is good. Easy listening music helps me keep the speed down and avoid tickets. If I put on rock, the go pedal tends to go down farther.

ZZ Top is good, "Legs" is a old favorite and the video had the cool red car in it.

And a good bit of the time: Engine sounds only.

I am looking at getting an iRock FM transmitter for the MP3 player - only $40 so if it's static-y will post & let you know.

Any album by "Skillet" adds 20-30 mph to the speedo.

It's the reason cruise control is a must.

Great website at http://www.skillet.com/

How 'bout "Jesus Take the Wheel", by Carrie Underwood?
Particularly after grabbing that 55mph freeway on-ramp at 85.

Jeph, that was a hell of a good recommendation on that Allofmp3 site. Gracias !

My only concern was that it seems like 50% of all evil on the Net comes from Soviet servers but the site seems pretty robust to be just a vehicle of bad intent. No problems so far with my comp, I guess that KGB spyware integrates seamlessly. Their music library is pretty insane, and has been able to meet even my most obscure searches. The prices are obviously great, but I'm sure they're making a mintload in rubles albeit a few pennies at a time.

Yeah, everyone I get to take the allofmp3.com plunge loves it... all you have to do is get over that Russian Mafia hurdle. And the KGB spyware integrates seamlessly on any platform!
