I'm had to talk a lot of clients out of using music on their homepage, Steve. But, I think, for this site, music works.
One, the music is very "low profile"... not blaring. Two, there's no content on the homepage that requires concentration, such as content I have to read, so the music doesn't compete. There's just the slideshow of cars, which, if created in video, would normally have musical accompaniment anyway. You got what amounts to a splash page for the homepage, so, I think, the music works... Nice job with everything.
