NEW CAR

Posted by william on Jun 25th, 2009

I got a new car a month ago. My old car didn’t have a (working) radio, and I’m a radio person, especially talk shows. There’s an outlet for Ave Maria Radio here in West Coast Florida, but most of my home radios don’t pick it up predicatably, if at all. So I was pleased to dial it up on my car radio and get some good listening. After a couple of week, though, the signal didn’t come in as well, and had to battle a rock station, creating some rediculous juxtapositions of talk show words and music lyrics.
My fall back position was Sirius Satellite Radio, which came with my Ford Focus but I didn’t intend to activate because I didn’t know how and I had (at first) all I wanted without it. So I fooled around a little and got it going and tuned it somewhat uncertainly to the Catholic channel, so I’m good for almost 6 months until the free subscription runs out.
Oh, I like music too, but getting what I want on the radio is a most uncertain affair. It’s great when one of my favorite plays, but it’s dullsville when most everything else is Somebody Else’s Favorite.
