Just think,
These little bozos will be getting older, if they survive road rage
syndrom, to sue the stereo manufactures for product liability for ruining
their ear drums in a few years and we had to put up with the annoyning

ruined in the "old"-Navy, protecting these idiots rights and I don't plan
to burden the tax payers about it!!!!
Nothing beats the sound of an EA-6B launching off a carrier deck- haven't
had kidney stones since-you had to be there.
