On both the car side and the home side, it can become an addiction of a certain type....forever chasing a zenith that you can tell yourself you haven't yet reached. I hope my hearing stays great for a long time. If the point where my grandfather's hearing started to falter is any indication, I have another 30 years. However, he wasn't an audiophile/audio enthusiast....and was young way before Rock music ever existed .
And it is really expensive. I have a simple upgraded head unit and stock speakers, and what I play sounds great since it is a lossless format burned straight from the cd. Sound quality you can't get any other way.

Even before there WAS A/C owner's manuals recommended to use the wing vents and the fans for cooling rather than the windows because of decreased fuel economy.
The highway is 55, but usually I never go near it, since I am on the other side of the cape from it. I will try and see if that makes a difference on the roads I do travel.

Not just the northeast, but the planet. The Georgia Guidestones are right, the world would be better off with less people, as long as I get to hand pick those who are allowed to stay. If not, then we should really stop being so damn lazy and colonize the moon, mars, and build a massive array of space stations in our solar system. We've totally slacked off in that area and it is really depressing. We could easily fit the entire world's population onto self sustaining space stations if we actually tried.
