Default RE: Bose sucks

Lee I did not know who else to address,their name is on the radio.The cd will play fine so will fm/am this is a XM problem that GM did not take care of.They knew it did not work right and sent it out any way.I used to do the speed only thing to but now I am limited to cruise's,car shows and other gatherings.I put royal purple in because that is What I used for years.My running temp cooled down 15 degrees and my oil presure increased 10 psi with 10-w30.My plans for the car is to add a ram air kit and add a cat back system on it.I too carry beach boys greatest hits at all times I also carry Jan and Dean and the sound track to Amrican graffitti.The XM channels do carry alot of cool car music and I just want it to sound like it should.Can you tell me about your porscha .How much would you think that it would cost If I found one.Don't mean to sound cheap but I live off my VA check and SS thanks for your help.

I have a standard "bottom of the line" Porsche "911" (they actually haven't called them that since 9/11, they are all Carrera's now). It is the best car I have ever owned -- not the fastest by far -- it got outgunned by a GTO the other night (don't know if it was an LS1 or LS2 but while the Porsche took it off the line it was just a bit faster as speed built up past 40)but my Porsche is definately the best car I have had: incredible build quality, flawless design, perfect dynamics, easiest car to live with I have ever had.

Porsche Carreras supposedly start at around $75K, but a base car is pretty plain and I've never seen one in the US. Mine was the lowest price car on the dealer's lot, save one, and had a sticker of $87,850. Prices go up to about $140,000.
Used Carreras are durable if well cared for and often pretty good bargains, particularly if you can find a 1999-2005 911 or Carrera with low miles. They often run in the $40K and up range

Thanks for that info.My wife has a 06 GTO.My 04 vette had a hard time keeping up with it.I was not trying to whine about my vette so much it was just that I live off a VA dissability check and a SS check.I was told my car was new but it had 11 miles on it.I found out 2 months after buying the car that it had be used in a hispanic day parade.If I had knew this I would not have bought that car.They also used a high speed buffer on it and left deep swrills on it.Thay hid it with colored wax..I live in florida and took the car off the show room floor.This was during the rainie season.By the time I got it home all the colored wax washed off,they had a nail in the tire,and the battery was shorted.Once I had signed the papers for the car I called and canceled my extended warenty on my 04that was part of my dowm payment money.That night one of their salesman took my 04 commerative on a 160 mile joy ride and broke the rear end.I tryied to take the 06 back and have them repair my 04.They did not know who drove it and told me no.My 04 had been recertified 11 months earlier and I had the rear seals replaced a few months earlieer and that rechecked the rearend.A woman had the car before me and I never did 1 burn out.I contacted GM and got no help.I was stuck.I found some great guys down hear to try and detail my scratchs & swrill marks out and they did a good job.That's why I was warning everybody about the bad equipment.If I offended you or anybody elese on this thread I am truly sorry.I did ask them about the radio at the time I bought the car.My salesman said it worked perfect.I did tell them that I was a disabled Vet and Took 14 diffrent meds a day which included morphine and asked them not to take advantage of me.I got taken to the cleaners and I guess that's why I was upset.Thank all of you for letting me vent.
