Well, I've got 14 of the really cool walkie talkies and cables to pipe them into your stereo through the ipod port, and two more without the stereo link, so if we do have 15 cars, we'll still have a radio in every car, but at least one person will have to listen to the small built-in speaker....

Well, EndiSky helped correct my misremembered vehicle type for AdamVIP. The best part is I'll be able to apologize to Adam in person in just a few days.
