How can an opinion be incorrect?

Personally, I dislike loud music in the pits, just becuase it makes it much harder to get stuff done, and there is always too much to do in too little time. I'd agree with those who say the loss of music on the cart results in a loss of character becuase I can remember from my first year seeing teams with speakers on their carts and going "Whoah! That's pretty nifty!" and then coming back and saying "We have to do that next year!" I'd agree it's for the best though becuase last time we "lost character" MOE sticks and TJ drums were eliminated, and I think everyone agrees that was for the best.

But for some silly reason, BAE still hands out free air filled thingies that you clap together (I don't know what they're called).
