I have 2 ten year old cars, both with more than 100K on them, the Cadillac had its original sound system removed and I upgraded it with a much better than factory system. I also have a wonderful home stereo that better last me as I will never be able to afford to replace it with anything comparable. My only other luxury are my season tickets to the Dodgers.
I couldn't live without music to chill me out....
