My Nomad has (not my car anymore) a big killer stereo --- and on a long trip say from Seattle down to Reno for Hot August Nights --- it was used a lot... and with enough speakers and power -- YES you can overcome the other noises....


Having said that -- my last two cars have NO stereo in them at all. Of course in the roadster - it would be absolutely useless. I'm sure in the drop top '33 - that would also be the case.

The thing is -- with the new small really high quality headphones such as Beats etc -- and an iPod or even a cellphone now -- if you want some music on a long trip it's pretty easy just to slip those in and cruise.
