The Future Is Here
The car stereo has long been one of the human male’s most effective means of display. To potential partners in courtship, it loudly announces “I’m here! I have resources to spare!” In this way, it is like the peacock’s tail, or the puffy, crimson butt cheeks of whatever those monkeys are that have the swollen red rears. Is it baboons? Well, whatever it is.
To would-be rivals for territory and mates, the car stereo signals a warning. “This is my turf!” it says, “and I’m totally into Megadeth!” Weaker males can hear this message all the way up and down their block, making the car stereo a much more effective show of machismo than getting a neck tattoo, which a person has to be right up close to you to even see.
This particular Alpine stereo does all that—and more. It also loudly proclaims its owner’s qualities of sophistication, and of being up-to-date with the latest trends. And not just by blaring Owl City, but by integrating seamlessly with his fancy new impressive iPod or iPhone. If you’re not quite cool enough to have an iPhone, don’t worry. The Alpine IXA-W404 has a regular old USB connection too. And owning this car stereo will probably make up for your lame other phone anyway, whatever it is.
(Then again, if you ever do get an iPhone, but Apple capriciously changes the dock connectors on them again in the meantime, that USB connection will mean you can still hook it up. So you’re set.)
This Alpine system also boasts a fancy touchscreen interface unlike anything your lowlife friends have ever seen, so even though it’s extremely easy to operate, maybe they’ll be just intimidated enough by it not to try, and keep their greasy fingers off, and not mess with the soundtrack you’ve painstakingly curated for this particular trip. They should be glad you’re giving them a lift to Del Taco at all; they’re crazy if they think they’re entitled to radio rights too. Driver chooses the music, that’s the rule.
“But hang on,” we hear you whine. “Aren’t car stereos a pain to install? Even if owning this thing boosts my perceived manliness, won’t that boost be canceled out when it turns out I’m too mechanically inept to hook it up?”
It might be, if we weren’t hooking you up with a sweet deal on a pre-paid installation card over at Deals.Woot.
Uh, yeah. You’re welcome.
