had to listen to the friggin' RADIO and it's driving me insane

It is amusing. You get very used to it.

I had the car in for some repairs at the dealer yesterday. While waiting, I wandered around, looking at all of the new stuff they had. I wasn't horribly impressed, but I saw that they were now making XM a factory installed option for all of their models. One of the folks on the floor, who has seen me around before, asked if I had tried the XM demo they had and wasn't it the greatest thing in car audio. I could not help but laugh and tell him that it would be the first thing I would rip out of the car, and I the reason I was looking at the radio so closely was to see how I could do it...

I then explained about the empeg, and (after my car was done) gave another demo... One of these days, I really have to put together a demo playlist, just something that can show off what it can do. This way, I don't have to scroll around much...
