JD,
I got the portable radio. Circuit City was OUT of the car adaptor kits. I really didn't want it in my car, but your right, after a few days, I have found that I enjoy it so much, that now I am going to buy the car adaptor kit. At my job, we can only get about 3 radio stations on the AM/FM radio, so when my co-workers saw this, they thought it was pretty cool. I have no problem getting a signal at work. Friday, I spent a good majority of my day planted in my chair listening to E! Channel.
