I wish my work was around airplanes, would be much more interesting...

I got all my military aviation lingos from my early teen years, when there was a guy in my old neighborhood who was a naval aviator flying F-14s and he and his buddies visiting would regale me with their stories; you can imagine what that was like for a young boy 12-13 years of age!

If memory serves, he was based out of NAS Oceana but not sure which aircraft carriers he'd been deployed on.

aren't we a bit off topic here ?

NOT COMPARED TO PREMIUM SOUND!!!!!

I wish the normal HUD had a rev counter, but you only get this in M's :(

I say that the premium sound is WAY WAY WAY WAY more worth it. To me that's a no brainer!

Would you rather spend 1,200 bucks on a system that shows you information like speed, cruise control and arrows maybe 4 inches higher than they are normally OR would you rather spend a little more on an excellent sound system and a CD changer (see if you can get the Logic 7 system without the CD changer at a cheaper price... the cost of the changer has gone up and with options like 6FL one CD is more than enough.)
