Now that is some luxury right there, nice.
Tape player: excellent!
I have a tape player in my in-car set up too.
It's half decent Sony walkman, fed through the aux in (surely designed for MP3 players) in my Kenwood head unit. It has a separate dedicated iPod connection (display & control from the head unit when iPod attached) & the in-dash CD plays MP3 discs, so I'm not sure why it needed aux in too, but the walkman sounds just great
230W JBL: very nice too.
I used to be really into my ICE, so I have an enormous 600W Kenwood amp running in tri-mode, feeding Kicker components (mid/bass & tweets) in the front & a 15" sub - bridged to 2 ohms to really kick

It's nice to have bumpin' sounds in the ride, eh?
That V8: I love the stats on American engines!
280 horses from 4.6 litres is so gentle on the block it'll last forever!
The (comparitively) little 2.5 litre V6 in my Ford gets 170 BHP, & that's done 288,000 miles so far without trouble.
The Volvo I want (V70 T5 wagon) gets 250 BHP from a 2.3 litre in-line 5 cylinder (all beit with a nice, big turbo!).
That mileage: wow!
My Ford & the Volvo I want both get over 30mpg - anything less would cripple me with the prices over here in the UK. I did the sums: we pay aroud a pound per litre, which is equivalent to over US$6 per US gallon...
Anyway, that's a nice bit of luxury there Ed, good for you
