bazooka

[Dave K.]

I can appreciate the newer bass systems with their enormous bass
capabilities but my 38 year old taste likes the little bit of bass the tube
gave me.  Especially for $79 (Black Friday Special last year at Circuit
City).
Besides, my car is German, I sit up in my driver's seat and I wear my hat
with the bill facing forward.   ;-)
