Just wanted to share a short rant about how much I fucking hate life sometimes.

I work for a lawncare company and spend a lot of time driving around in a pickup truck.

Obviously, there's no way I'm listening to Josie Die or z103 all day. So, naturally, I decided to get an FM transmitter and listen to my iPOD in the truck (no cd player).

So don't I go out and buy one of those rinky-dink $80 FM transmitters from Best Buy or Future Shop (can't even remember now). And for 2 days, I'm thinking "This is awesome, I can listen to TIESSSTTTOOOOOOO all day long!!!"

Then on day 3, the worst-case scenario began. Static. Static on every station that I attempt to use my FM Transmitter on (and this thing allows me to attempt ANY station to feed the signal, I tried to drown out z103, it didn't work). FUCK.

Anyway, a few days of that garbage goes by and one of the girls at work ends up working with me for the day. And lo and behold, she has an FM transmitter too!

Not just ANY transmitter, but one that allows you to attempt a measly 4 stations. 88.1-88.5. I'm thinking "Oh, this should be fun, I tried those ones already!"

She had hers set to one of the stations that I knew didn't stand a chance at working with my transmitter, it was a station with a weak signal, but it was a live station all the same.

Doesn't that fucking thing get plugged into my cigarette lighter. Walk right up to that station and say "Fuck off bitch, this frequency's mine today." followed by crystal clear TIESSSSTOOOOOOOO that's been crystal clear for over a year now. MIRACULOUS!

Everyone should have the BEST FM transmitter on the market. You get it from Canadian Tire, and you know the best part? The REAL kicker?

It's 20 bucks.

FUCK!

"You are virtually the ring leader, the way I see it."
Then, I blew out the candle.

Ok and maybe you should remind your mom not to drink, smoke, and do drugs while she's pregnant.

I hope you realize that hardwire will always be better than wireless. I've been using an FM transmitter for 4 years now and still get static on certain parts of Toronto. It will fail in certain places and be crystal clear in others. The thing isn't perfect, that's all you have to know, and it will annoy the shit out of you A LOT.

You can get them installed, but the ones I found seem to be around $100. I have a 2005 civic and my friend got the 2006 redesign civic which had an auxilary in (lucky for him). I don't need the mod that bad, but I do cringe whenever static occurs or interferes with another FM transmitter.

But using my ipod for music in my car with 30GBs is WAY better than burning cds or having a nice deck installed which could potentially be a reason to break into my car.

that Crappy tire cigarette lighter one is great, sometimes i've seen it go on sale for 9 bucks.

For the best reception but your car antenna down

Yup
