As I've noted in the past, I first bought a BMW back in aught '79 for the performance. Fancy features were NOT on their minds when they designed it - windows? Roll your own. Seat adjustments? Manual. Automatic transmission? Not in these parts, sir. Radio? Begrudged.
Given some of my previous notes about my enthusiasm for good - and loud - music, you might expect that I would have popped for the premium sound system in my new BMW, but that extra $1000 seemed, err, ahh, a TAD usurious. Moths fly out of a curmudgeon's wallet, not money. So I went with the *sigh* factory standard system (apparently only 400 watts and a mere 10 speakers).
Recently, Eric Clapton was playing, so I turned him up. All the way. Sort of a "let's see what this baby can do" moment. My ears are still ringing as I write this - it was unbelievable. Eric rocked. The car rocked. Passers-by assumed it was the kids in the tricked-out Honda in front of me, not the old fart waving his head like Stevie Wonder. The experience was nothing short of spectacular.
I'm going to BMW tomorrow to hear their UPSCALE sound system. I pray I return with my hearing intact and wallet moths undisturbed.
