Radio!

I got a radio installed today.

OK, mostly it was Chris, one of the EV build buddies, who did almost all the work. I still have to get it physically mounted right, the wiring is all done up and working.

It was the cheapest stereo available at the big-box store, yet it has plenty of bells and whistles, including MP3 playback from CD, SD card, or USB.

You know the first thing I had to do was test some sound effects....
I already had some motorcycle sound effects handy, so I loaded those on a memory card and plugged it in. Sound effects were every bit as good in the car as they were on the motorcycle.

I am taking the car to the MREA energy fair in two weeks. Last year, I lost my voice talking to people about my motorcycle. Perhaps this year I make a recording of myself tallking about the car and play it repeating on the stereo?!

Looks like I will have to find the George Jetson flying car sound effect to use in the Metro...
