I'm working on a solution to the music player in the car situation which involves never having to drive to a job again. NPR will suffice for driving the dogs to the park and such.

2 years ago I got one of the stereos with a dock connector. It is nice that it charges the iPod and I can control it from my regular stereo face, but the controls are really hard to use. It's like, to see what artist you're listening to you have to push Function enough times to get to the F3 menu, then press down to see the artist. Then hold down if you want it to scroll. Then press down 4 more times if you want it to go back to the song title.

But having just one cord to plug in when I get in the car is awesome. And the stereo has a thing where I can adjust the relative volume of each input. So when I put a CD in the volume lowers itself like 10 clicks from FM and when I switch to the iPod it goes up 10.

Back on topic:  I just got the call for casting in the next Cliks video.  But it's in Toronto.  If only I had disposable income!  I'd be there in a second.

In the Audi TT, you plug your iPod in inside the glove box, and then you just use the regular deck's controls, as if each playlist was a seperate CD in the changer. I'm not sure how this works in practice, but I plan on test-driving one fairly soon.

They wanted to put mine in the glove box but I had it the cord come out in a "utility pocket" under the stereo. It means the white cord is visible through the window but I didn't want to have to open the glove compartment and reach way over every time I get in and out of the car.

Mika is very definitely the sound of the fuck*ng summer over here. I can't escape the cat voiced bastard.

I love this RickRoll dude.  He is awesome.

Hear hear!

I said that about my iPod being on my desk right up until the day some syphillitic fuck-mouth stole it.

One of my good friends has a BMW and his has the same glovebox setup for his iPod. It's awesome.

Well I don't leave my iPod in the car. Or my radio face. Even if I weren't worried about break-ins its way too hot/cold inside the car for an iPod to be happy for most of the year.

I misunderstood your post. However, you'd be surprised (or maybe you wouldn't) by what some people will do. My wife came home from school or some errand not long ago (can't remember which) with a BK bag in the bed of the truck. I sort of laughed and gave her a hard time because we don't eat fast food, and reached over to take it out of the back. Turned out the bag was chock-full of used syringes - yay!

I read this and thought "cue Linnea's horrified reaction."

It took me several times reading it before I realized "oh! they probably weren't his wife's!"

Sorry about not making that clear - my wife is not a junkie.
