My bus didn't even come with a stereo!!!

My mechanic was going to put one in for me, but there's nothing to wire it to. He'd have had to run speaker wiring and power all over the bus. Instead I'm stuck with small portable speakers and an mp3 player.

Which means I listen to whatever *I* want to!!! LOL
