Punk all the way (Nofx, Pennywise, No use for a name, The Casualties, Millencolin, The Vandals, Union 13, etc etc)

I consider punk listeners as a minority because everybody listens to rap and hip hop, so I make sure my volume is pretty high to represent the music I love.

I don't know if I'd go that far as to say that everybody these days is listening to rap and hip hop. Just the MTV watchers, thats all.

Me, personally, its gotta be some good old 'those were the days' tunes for me. The Stones, the Dead, Doors, Jimi, and the Beatles will do just fine, thank you.

The same I like when I'm at home.

Basically rock, and sometimes some eletronic and dance stuff.

ROFL. Punk is the fad in the states now. Or, that's what they call it. Avril Lavigne, Good Charolotte, New Found Glory, and Simple Plan is what MTV plays alot. Me, I stick the NOFX(see avatar), some ska, a few other punk bands... and MSI. Mindless Self Indulgence is what I'd call evil Indie. It's not soft or slow like Brand New, but doesn't fit any other label. Other frequents are old rock comps and when I gotta do it all up gangsta, the Hip-Hop.

Personally, I'm quite content to drive around with my windows down on a summer night and listen only to the sound of my engine revs rising and falling in unison with the faint whistle of my supercharger.

Punk all the way (Nofx, Pennywise, No use for a name, The Casualties, Millencolin, The Vandals, Union 13, etc etc) I absolutely agree, throw in The Dead Kennedys, The Exploited, Operation Ivy, Dropkick Murphys and Funeral Oration !!

But I also listen to newer bands: Disturbed, White Stripes and recently The Trews, and I have a heavy retro streak in me: Van Halen(w/David Lee Roth), Triumph, Rush(prior to Moving Pictures) Deep Purple, The Clash ...

Right again, but I have it cranked for myself not for the "entertainment" of the neighborhood ... tho it is fun to shut down "Joe Ricer" and his Eminem blaring Civic at a red light. :D

She's a 1990 VW Corrado G60 with a 1.8L supercharged 8-valve I4, and a 5-speed. She's my baby, and her name is Aria.

The Corrado with the G60 engine comes with the supercharger. I haven't modified the engine at all. It's a factory supercharger.

Finch, LostProphets, Chevelle, The Juliana Theory, and Senses Fail. Senses Fail is great when you're having some fun in the mountains. ;)

Sidenote, Wheelman, nice car. Just lower it. :) And have you had to replace the charger yet? It's a chronic problem on those cars.

I enjoy listening to something really upbeat. Swizzbeats isn't too bad, on Friday and Saturday nights on XM Channel 9 they have a show called Spin Cycle and they play a lot of upbeat dance mix type stuff and I enjoy that while driving...fast. I don't really care for any of that type of music unless I'm driving, kind of odd I always thought.
