Heh, another one bites the dust.
When I bought this car, it had it's original , early 90's Blaupunkt cassette player/radio . Just weeks after, it got stolen. (a back door was left unlocked because the central locking was malfunctioning) The punk forced it out and cut/ripped the wiring so it would probably cost a small fortune to get that fixed. Anyway, the funny part is that I had only used it once in those few weeks, mainly because here in Cyprus they play Greek language music which I simply hate.
Come to think about it, the thief did me a favor, took out 2-3 lbs of the car weight to help my FE.
Nowadays when I listen to music in the car, it's straight in my ear, from the iPod...and before you say that's dangerous, I have a pair of Sony in-ear speakers that doesn't block the outside noise to much so it's not impairing...and of course I would never leave my precious iPod in the car...
