I haven’t yet gotten a car, nor do I plan to.
Because if you can operate without one, life is so much better.
Cars ruin cities.
But if a city is already ruined or you live in a village without a bus station, it makes travel a lot easier.
My first car was the cheapest salvage title I could find, broken tape deck and radio stuck on one channel. Based on era, the first song was probably something by Nickelback.
Please tell us that you have moved on to a better car. That was a painful read hahaha.
Ha, literally sitting by my 2012 Toyota Camry on this Friday night waiting for the AC cleaner to do its thing. I loaned it to someone while I was out of town for a couple weeks and I got it back smelling of mold and mildew. I can’t drive it a mile without feeling ill. Tomorrow I will scrub and vacuum the interior. This “someone” has already moved to my blacklist.
So an upgrade from my high school car? Yes. A good car? Not really.
In the spirit of OPs question, and very appropriate to my situation, I’m listening to C’est la Vie by The Weathers.
Dire Straits - Money for Nothing. It was on a cassette in my parents car. Not what I normally listen to, but it’s an alright song, and after having had to endure whatever my parents decided to listen to, that was what I decided to turn up on my first drive alone.
I think the first thing I brought into the car with the intent to listen to it while driving was Dream Theater - Awake, freshly recorded from CD onto tape
I played Royal by Deon Custom and KRNE
Heeell yes! I used to blast Italics all the time. It’s from that wonderful music era of my life from 2014-2016 where I exclusively found music on SoundCloud.
I don’t remember after my first car. But I got a really big raise at work one year and bought the new Malibu the year it was redesigned. Black with leather interior. First song played:
Radar Love by Golden Earring
It’s a great fucking song to drive too fast to.
