Stop surfing at work then... J/K.

oh, and driver has full control over windows, radio, and his/her seating position. anyone who thinks otherwise can make a formal complaint...whilst walking to their destination.

Yup. Don't forget climate controls as well. If I'm driving and I hand of the control to you, I'm likely trying to get into your pants. If I've gotten into your pants, you'll probably never touch the controls again.

doh yeah, those too.

that explains everything. i hate you, you perverted a-hole

even if i want a lay, she's not touching the radio. the most she's allowed to do is hold the cd book for me and flip the pages. i might let her swap the disc, but i'm dropping the faceplate and i'm pushing the eject button.

my car, my stereo

The hell is a CD book? I don't even think I have A CD in my possession anymore. Let alone many CDs that would necessitate an entire book.

You have a point though. Most women-folk pretty much wouldn't be able to figure out my head unit. So in terms of letting go of the control, it's usually a "what do you want to listen to?" sort of deal. And, I reserve the right to veto (depending on how hot she is).

Nobody changes Aldo Nova until the song is over.

[AppleBonker]

Man, those women are stupid. I don't know how many people they polled, but 71% said full democracy in selection? Wrong! I own the car, I paid the gas, and you getting a lift is a gift. You don't like the music, get your ipod out and hop on the bus.

Dumber still, 8% said the navigator?!?!?!? B*tch, the navigator can be replaced by a machine. In my car, I am both the driver AND navigator. Trump card. You've got less say in the music being played then the squirrel I just ran over a mile back.

[Chaotic_Warlord]

What if you are driving the GF/wife's car who has say then, after all it is their car. My gf doesn't have a cd player in her car so we are stuck with FM radio, so I just change it from her girly pop top 40's station to the local country station, and that is where it stays if I'm driving at least they don't play the same 10 songs over and over and over again.

No one rides in my car, they complain about the exhaust noise and fumes from my loving to run rich, so it's just me and my mix cd's since I haven't found a solution to getting all of my music to be portable, which is way more than even the largest Ipod can hold. Looking into getting a Kenwood Keg, but can't find them anywhere anymore.

[Urabus GodofTraction]

This shows that 71% of women have a dubious touch on reality at best. b****es.

Tita is 100 years old duhh.

Women don't know how to work electronics. turn your glove box into a mini-fridge and the women folk can make you sammichez while you drive.

Good idea. But cooler for the food. I want to put a griddle in there. Make me a reuben fool!!!

[flohtingPoint]

In my cars that I actually have a stereo in, I'll be damned if I let someone dictate what I listen to. Nobody is going to take out my Dream Theater so that they can listen to garbage.

[Mr1der]

the driver

unless I can't stand the song

[Razi]

My friend turned on some radio station with Lil Wayne, Ke$ha and all that crap.I slowed my car down to stare at him and ask him wtf he was doing and turned off the stereo.

My car, my music!

Actually Garbage was a pretty decent band and seriously how can you go wrong when your lead singer looks like this...





Sorry I have a thing for the Scottish/Irish redheads.

[King Ranzo]

According to the rules of Shotgun, the driver or the passenger control the music, unless the driver says differently.I usually allow my passenger to control it unless I'm at a traffic light or a complete stop and I want to change the song.

[skydragoness]

Driver controls all. Nuff said.

However, a lot of my friends have similar tastes in music ..so that's hardly a problem. I'll let them roll down their window ...I guess.

If there's anything I hate is when someone tells me to roll up the windows and put the a/c on. NO! HOW ABOUT YOU PAY FOR THE EXTRA GAS IT SUCKS UP!? As long as it's under 90 degrees outside, there's no a/c.

If I'm a passenger I'll politely ask to turn on the heat if I'm shivering, otherwise, I don't bug the driver. In fact, I'm fairly quiet too (because I really don't like getting into long conversations/debates when driving..too distracting).

[MinisterofDOOM]

the driver

unless I can't stand the song

Yeah. If you really can't stand the music I'm playing, say something. Otherwise, hands off. I have a HUGE CD wallet full of music. If you can't find ANYTHING in there you can stand, you should probaby just icepick your ears.As for climate controls, passenger has their own damn buttons. but if you piss me off I'll turn on single mode and crank the heat. Even if it's summer.

[skydragoness]

You people and your cd wallets. USB flash drive FTMFW.

I used to have a stuffed penguin cd-wallet that sat buckled in the passenger seat of the 240. Was good for a laugh...

Generally if it's someone I don't know that well I keep the music low. Especially if they're a chatterbox because music+someone running their mouth makes me REALLY distracted (and annoyed)

[Mr1der]

wtf Sky?

AC doesn't suck that much gas...well...on my Civic...the KA is a mystique creature.

[MinisterofDOOM]

<- 29 highway with A/C on. 23 combined. It has to get pretty damn hot for me to need A/C in the summer, though...I use it MORE in the winter for dehumidifying.

You people and your cd wallets. USB flash drive FTMFW.

No way to use a flash drive in my cars. I could get an ipod interface for the Lincoln and have all my music on me, though. But with a 6 disc in-dash changer, discs aren't a huge hassle. I just leave thick as a brick, ultimate canon, and Momentary Lapse of Reason in at all times...

[Mr1der]

I'd like a head unit with a usb port.

I got this 64gb flash drive...

[AppleBonker]

Ipod connectivity FTW. I'm not necessarily an apple fan (in fact there are better mp3 players out there), but so many head units have ipod controls it is hard to avoid. I've got all my tunes in my car running through one. Haven't used a CD in probably 8 years...

[PapaSmurf2k3]

AC doesn't suck that much gas...well...on my Civic...the KA is a mystique creature.

I just realized that I have never used the AC in my 240... It helps that I have long since ripped it out... but still, it kind of escaped me that they even came with AC.

[krimsonviper]

The music controls my attitude, I ultimately control the radio. If you don't want a 210lb fat man pissed off at you and cutting off drivers, you had better find something we can both agree with. This statement is if I'm driving, otherwise, I don't care.

A CD BOOK... a CD BOOK?. I don't even own *a* CD, let alone many CDs that would necessitate an entire Book. What am I gonna do... with a CD Book?

I run the show when its me and anyone OTHER than my girlfriend, its not worth the argument... Ill let her listen to whatever she wants, while I hammer the pedal down to get the 80s dance station turned off asap!
