Step 1: Tune the XM to Faction or Boneyard XL.

Step 2: Press the accelerator pedal until you have reached desired speed or until it hits the floor. (Whichever comes first.)

Step 3: Watch out for State Bulls.

Lots of great songs!

Pretty much all of them on my Ipod.    :rock

Sadly, most are un-listenable at 65mph minus top/doors or above the singing of the 33" tires  :cry

Step 1:  Buy XM radio  :cry

I seriously need to upgrade.  Radio stations around here tend to suck.  Of course, I go back and forth between country and rock, but finding good music on the radio is hard.  I still stick to my CDs when all else fails.  Eventually I'll buy a new radio where I can plug my iPod into it.


Some more highway songs (I'll add more as I think of them)

Ramblin' Man - Allman Brothers Band
East Bound and Down - Jerry Reid

I don't much get to see 65 in mine. And the TSL's (to be replaced this weekend with MT/R Kevlars) at 31" certainly make a lovely hum, but I put some marine grade speakers in with the orignal system and it really does crank out quite loud.

Who needs a radio when you have an American V-8 singing the sweetest music in the world?
