8-track for sure, dude! As a matter of fact, I was thinking of picking one up...then I can do all my music shopping at flea markets and garage sales...

personally I listen to the engine. I spent money on a radio when I first bought it, but I feel in love with the engine noise and the radio hasn't been on since.

You can pick up the C-D or tape of "Harley Davidson Road Songs" #1. Most of the great hard drivin rock songs listed above are contained in it. It's my favorite when cruzin'...

All I ever listen to in my 'Vette is:

Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Who, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Dylan and of course The Rolling Stones....just to name a few. None of that new stuff :U. There's a few ideas for ya.

The one time I was taking my buddy for a ride in the 'Vette and he said it felt like he was back in the '70s (what with the music, car and all :) ).
