You can even hook it up in your house. I have several of them - one in my car and one in the house that also goes into my wife's car. More importantly, I bought the stock at .559 / share and it's trading at over $7. A few more points up and I can retire. Ok, maybe not retire, but I can buy some cool stuff. Buy it for my share price please.</p> You should definitely get Sirius satellite radio. You can even hook it up in your house.
