How annoying is it to DD an RS?

Just wondering what you RS owners feel about no radio, no power anything, etc when daily driving.

Put a nice exhaust on it and you can't hear the dam radio anyway :-)

My 72 bug has no power windows, no heat, no A/C, and I finally put a radio in it this year. I can tell you it sucks to drive sometimes.

Its no big deal. You get used to it really fast and completely forget about it when you mash the gas pedal.
Then when you ride in somebody elses car it feels like
you are in the future.

The stock system is so depressing, I rarely listen to the radio anyway. I can't wait til I get time to put a system in.

I listen to MP3s on my palm treo on long drives (1 hr+), I commute 1 hr each direction everyday, I love the sound of the car, and I know immediately if there's any funny noises. I've had a few.

Manual windows are nice because there are no motors to break or short out if track in the rain, and when people throw you the universal sign for rolling down your window, you hold true to it

I love my RS, have been daily driving it since Feb. '06, and have 45k on odo!

This may sound weird....I had a 05 VIII RS and I didnt put a radio in it. I sold the VIII and bought a IX RS. I put a radio and just front door speakers in, and never listen to it....hahaha
