Sheldon loves classic rock and roll; I'm a blues and jazz girl myself, but we can agree on John Hiatt. We have a Shelby and love to ride around and listen to the music, but in Virginia there are strict noise level laws so we have to keep it down.

Seems we all agree on the best music....I too open the sun roof,and windows.....just drive to the music if no one is around me....still have to remain safe...

Just because you have muscle, doesn't mean you have to use it. But if you need it, it's there. I75 waits for no man..or woman.

Ohhhhhhhhhh, that's my dream car! Saw one at Winn Dixie once, dark red with a brown top.

You do realize that 'elevator music' is hits from the 1990s?

That music is most likely AM 640. WVLG. Villages radio. Is is also piped in to every village speaker in the centers

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.:sing:

That would not me.

You can catch me in the Orange YUGO with the Blue Racing Stripes and the
wobbly right front tire.


Playing this.

Um, not exactly. Elevator music is a bastardization of any music it tones down and tames. Rock should never be toned down and good rock can't ever be tamed. Heck, even Pop deserves better. Bubblegum music an demo (I really really loathe emo) deserve to be changed into elevator music. Can't make em any worse.

However,as long as they don't touch Paradise by the Dashboard Lights, my world is good. Actually had to get off an elevator once -- it was playing a soft version of Satisfaction. Wasn't sure whether to die laughing, sob my heart out or just go throw up.

It's Sirius XM radio. In the golf cart it's Bluetooth from my phone.

Did you mount a bluetooth speaker in your cart? And then just take it out to charge it?
