Music from the Sky

So I made it back to Cleveland. The drive wasn't bad but I sure missed my satellite radio. I HAD to listen to FM with its lousy reception on I-80 through Northern, PA. Drove my parents 1992 Toyota Previa back to Cleveland to sell it to a friend at work. Anyways, I realized how much I took the car audio for granted on these long trips.

I had heard of satellite radio many years ago but never knew anyone who had it until last year. One of the chief residents last year at GWU was Babak Sarani, he got XM radio for his BMW and has sung its praises ever since. I looked into it and 'cause I had a Kendwoood receiver which was SIRIUS compatible, I went that route instead. Now I am addicted to it. So much so that when I got my new car which had XM optional, I opted against it and went ahead and did my own custom Sirius install.

To anyone who doesn't have satellite radio, you don't know what you're missing... until like me, you end up travelling through Pennsyltuckey (yeah, I said it again!) and have to endure poor reception and commercials on FM radio.
