I assume you have another car for long trips? No music/radio would make those types of trips a little longer. At least for me...

LOL... I made an 1100 mile trip to Disney in my motorhome.
The grandkids deposited some coins inside the cassette deck. The radio would play, I'd hit a bump, and it would go off, then later back on for a minute or so. I ended up getting one of those songs stuck in my head, and drove for I guess 800 miles singing the same few lines of the song over and over again, because I didn't know the words.

Talking about being crazy by time I got there!

When I found the coins inside the radio, I had to laugh, it reminded me of the commercial where the VHS recorder had maypo or something coming out of it.
