I use the CD player only, but I don't use it too often. The only times I can remember having my CD player on are when it was raining, when the sun was too hot for driving top down or when my passenger and I had nothing of interest to speak about so music would help with the awkward silence.

I daily drive mine, and the sound of the exhaust during idle and low RPM is kinda annoying. So when during traffic I blast music.

...when I'm driving spiritedly though, that's a different story. Engine noise = music.

it's about 50/50. boring commute within speed limits i bump the radio or a cd.

but usually i like the deep growl when you go WOT between 3k-6k in second gear

vtec is just crazy buzzing wot in 1st, and since i'm running a stock setup, the engine is just raspy at those rpm's in first.

but don't get me wrong, i love second cam'ing.

I like the sound of the engine too, but I don't drive around like a maniac in vtec all the time. I definitely listen to the radio/ipod while riding.

Hardly ever drive with the radio. When my S was new I had a problem with the radio and the dealer had to switch it, because of work timing I had to get the car before he put the new one in and I ended up driving for 6 weeks without a radio, the dealer was getting pissed and was calling me every week telling me to bring it back so he could put the new one in.

The S has the perfect radio in the front under the hood.

I miss my S have not driven it in about 6 weeks and its sitting outside all dirty and looking sad. Construction of its new garage is almost finished and I will start daily driving it again once I park the truck, in which I always listen to the radio.

Here is the music system that I listen to.





My stereo is off most of the time in the S...
