    I've got an 80s car... it only fits that I blast some great 80s hair metal! My faves are Van Halen and Def Leppard.

    When the missus is around (she doesn't like the metal as much) it goes to 80s pop. All the one-hit wonders...

    The guys here are too predictable. Put so much as the word music in the title and you'll get dozens of posts of "hurr durr stereos are stupid!" Haters gonna hate...

    90% of the time it's AvB or Tiesto....or any of the music I have heard on BPM or AREA and downloaded onto my phone.

    The other 10% is Too $hort. ;)

    You mean when I am not listening to the Tubi? :cool:

    I have an XM radio. Sometimes I listen to talk radio there (Patriot, Fox News Talk) and sometimes I listen to soft rock (60s & 70s, Love, the Bridge, the Blend). and sports like F1 and baseball. (I record Football). Classical music gets too soft to listen to in any of my cars at speed, particularly the Ferrari.

    The longer the trip the more likely I am to listen to XM. We have XM in every car, the boat and in the home. I love it.

    The 360 has 6 CD changer as well.

    Life is good.
    Life is better driving a Ferrari.

    BPM is a rockin' channel! Any time I'm in a rental with XM, it's the first one I go to...

    Why don't you have XM in your DD????:confused: I have it in my Lexus but not the 355.

    I'll pay a monthly fee for the rest of my life just for BPM+AREA....... :)

    I've got more music on my phone than I know what to do with... and when I get bored I load up Mobile Pandora.

    I suppose if I spent more time in my car I'd spring for XM, but my commute to work is 10 minutes... by foot.

    The first thing my wife, son and daughter do when they get in any car is start fiddling with the stereo, even before putting on the seat belt. The music is so annoying, I'd much rather have quiet and I can't imagine actually paying for satellite radio when I can be annoyed for free! And people call me nuts. :D

    On a similar note, last year they circulated a petition at work about piping in music and what kind everyone preferred. I responded that if they piped in music of any kind that I might as well sign my resignation letter effective immediately. I have to focus on what I do and music just destroys my concentration. I think it's the same feeling in the car.

    So true! My head feels like a bruised watermelon after 4 hrs on the highway, gotta have some tunes to break the loud monotony.

    The stereo in 575 sucks...so I never turn it on but may be once or twice when I am stuck in traffic....then whatever was in there would do for me.

    Once on the move, I need to hear the car (engine, exhaust, tire noise, whatever) instead of the radio or CD... I just find these noises informative and connecting me to the car.

    And I do this to all my cars not just Ferrari.

    Every Saturday, on my way home from cars and coffee, I listen to Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers on NPR.

    There's no shame in that, is there?

    As for all the guys here who say they never listen to the radio, sorry, but I have to call BS on that. I just don't buy that you'll tool along for hours in your Ferrari, happy to listen to the Vroom Vroom noises, ALL THE TIME. :D

    Mostly, the V-8 humming behind my head.

    But when I do turn on the stereo, first choice is classical (with a preference for Russian composers of the "romantic" period), and second choice is "golden oldies". (IMO, today's popular music sucks, particularly rap.)

    You lose. :D I have never turned it on except on the day I bought it, for about 30 seconds to see if it worked. It did, and I assume it still does but I don't know for sure. I have logged about 3000 miles in the past year, including the 850 mile trip home and about 100 yesterday, and not one of those miles has included the stereo. My son listened to his ipod on the long trip, and I listened to the engine and whatever was running through my head.

    I also do this in my other cars so it's not a Ferrari-only phenomenon, although in my DD I will listen to the news in the morning on the way to work, about 2 or 3 days a week. The rest of the time it stays off. I just prefer the sounds of the car, talking, wind, rain, traffic, whatever, to music of any kind. I think it has something to do with random sound vs. rhythmic sound - rhythms are highly distracting and annoying to me.
