I think his throwdown to find a nicer example of that car is laughable at best.  We can find nicer for half his asking price.  I see a  $3-4K car there.

Maybe because you can make the aftermarket head unit work with the EQ? ;)

Mine has less rust, like pretty much none. I'd drive by and show him but I've put it away for the winter.

You missed the point of the link- you _CAN_ use the EQ with an aftermarket deck. I've done it several times. I usually solder RCAs on it and use it between the deck and my amps. Screw cubbies ;)

Yeah my whole point was it doesn't need to go away with an aftermarket radio ;).
