I read that XM launched in Sept 2001. They were just barely too late to cover 9/11.
Fresh out of prison, I didn't have $7/mo to spare. I'd also have to buy and install a head unit capable of sat radio, as my $2,000 1996 Subaru Legacy didn't come equipped.
Never was short of money after that period of time once I worked a permanent full time job, and that is because I resisted most of the "only" $7 luxuries. No coffee habits, no subscriptions... the big thing I treated myself to was an $8/mo all club membership to 24hr fitness.
