FedEx left me a note today. The Crutchfield adapter is in town -- but not
in my hands :(

Another neato feature is that you can vary the color of the front panel.
Just what you need in that Solar Yellow R/T Sonya -- yellow instrument
panel, and matching sound system...

Replaced under warranty, I hope. IŽm getting a cassette deck because I
think they survive offroad better, and I have a good Nakamichi deck to
record with. By the time it dies, I hope weŽll have Star Trek-style PCMCIA
memory cards (maybe like the MP3 cards Diamond Multimedia is using), or
weŽll be able to beam our play selections from our home computer to the car
over an IR link. No Moving Parts!

I remember the project cars in Car and Driver of that era. Always had
Recaro seats, and a Blaupunkt Berlin for the stereo (must have been a
favorite of editor David E. Davis).

The Clarion in my SAAB can do that too. The stock Dakota radio gets the
Vegas powerhouse stations about Barstow during the day. At night, you can
pick them up on the Cajon summit.
