I was out riding the bike today, and my mp3 player went dead.. and I started thinking. If you don't have a radio in your car, what is it that you do? Do you sing to yourself? Talk on the phone the whole time? Take an iPod/MP3 player? I was just thinking about this. I remember in high school my stock cd player went out and I didn't have the funds for a new one.

I'll make a poll for it too

I don't do anything when there isn't any radio. You get to hear a lot of noises you didn't realize your car made before. some good, most bad

I never listed to music while riding........ My one car is so loud inside (dogbox) that i wear earplugs. I have a 2000W stereo in my truck that usually gets turned off after 30 minutes in favor of the rumble of a big block

When I first got my CVCC, it had a junked up radio that didn't work put in. When I removed it to put in the factory AM/FM radio, I saw that the opening had been cut to accommodate the after market unit. So I had to source a new dash, the original radio and install it all. While doing all this, I had no radio. Even now, with the new dash and radio in place (the radio is not hooked up yet), I don't have sound. And I don't mind one bit because if I had music in the car, I wouldn't be able to hear the dozens of compliments I get on my car all day, lolol. Seriously, though, I don't mind just cruising in silence. Later, QD.

My radio quit working on me the day I bought the Blazer. All I did was push a button and it has been dead since.

my DD features a loud stereo and ipod hookup. That, I enjoy the music, but the "play" car has a radio, but it is rarely turned on. I'm usually listening for noises, or simply enjoying the sweet whistle of the turbo

haha i actually had 2 friends who used to do that all the time. even with the radio they still did it haha

something else that gets done even if there is radio. music never chooses when my sack needs rubbing or nose needs picking.

I would sing to myself and other people whether they were with me or next to me at a redlight or take the ipod with me. Eventually I got tired of both of those and got a radio. It's so much better now.

i havent installed a stereo in the civic yet, i've just been listening out for any sounds that are out of the ordinary. The K20 and 35R make some pretty entertaining noises anyway. :goodjob:
