Super66, I am originally from Champaign so I caught a lot of these bands off the college scene. My buddies all went to Chicago after college so I spent a lot of time visiting them.

I saw the Vertigo tour this year in Dallas and was disappointed also. I really enjoyed the previous tour and the song selection was much better. Top Five U2 for me:

1.Streets
2. Bad
3. Electrical Storm
4. The Fly
5. Electric Co.

I'm 31, but still try to keep up with the music scene. Lucky Boys came out to El Paso...very surprising since they cancelled the Devo and Depeche Mode show because no one bought tickets (Jeff, take note if you like music).

I depart the Army in '08 and am really considering moving back to Chi-town. We'll see...I hope to be flying for one of the major airlines so I will be living wherever they send me. I also forgot Toad the Wet Sprocket...great band!

Got my ride with the Bose system. Thought for sure that some old school rap, maybe some 80's, or some Techno would be the best tunes to crank when not listening to the "Porsche Engine" mix...

I was wrong.

By far the most speeding is to be done with either Van Halen Hot for Teacher, or AC/DC Thunderstruck (although my wife says it reminds her of her Bachelorette party in Vegas...)

That said - top down has been reserved mostly for Ying Yang Twins or some good old Dre and Snoop.

Im still in the honeymoon period of owning my car, so its nothing but the motor for now!!! and loving it.

However.....Plan on burning a few new 'driving disks'

These will include tracks from...

U2
The Cult
Faith no more
Pearl Jam
Guns and Roses
Duran Duran
Bruce springsteen
Berlin
Bon Jovi
Blur
Radiohead
Hole
Fatboy Slim
INXS
Nirvana
Offspring
Simple Minds
The clash
The cure
Smashing Pumpkins

Heck, think I will have to grab some blank cd's

Any reconmendations on replacing the speakers in the dash. mine are very ordinary. I do notice an alpine amp under the hood matched up to the stock porsche head unit which is not much chop.

I dont have too much to spend on a new head unit so maybe some newer speakers?

Cheers,

Steven.
