A good stereo is cool when you are doing an outside event (picnic, party, etc) away from a power outlet. A good stereo can provide the dancing music in quite a nice radius.

Hmmm, if you are at a picnic or party, they you are NOT driving your Coupe! What fun could that be???

Another reason is for traffic. While DRIVING a sports car is cool without listening to music, stop and go traffic is not fun.

When stuck in traffic, I find the stock stereo/cassete more than adequate to listen to audio books on tape. And these boooks are more thought provoking and inteligent than a lot of todays current BOOM BOOM music. But once in awhile a little Dean Martin of Frank Sinatra is called for :)
