Um, how long is this road trip? Any chance you have earphones? That way they get a break from your choice of music and you get a break from their conversation -- if, at any point, either or both of you need a break without appearing rude. (I would need to get "away" even if I couldn't go anywhere after a few days of constant company.)

@Tai Chi,

Road trip rule #1: driver picks the music.

Bring your own ipod or cd player with headphones.

I agree in principle but disagree in practicality, with meself and lady Diane, the co-pilot manages the cd's. (I'm most often the co-pilot)

@dyslexia,

Co-pilot may, in an emergency, touch the c.d. Co-pilot may not select c.d.

Seriously.

@OmSigDAVID,

I remain not sure.

In any case, none of it relates to my enthusiasms of the moment.

No CD player? Check with Dys. I bet he's got lots of good eight tracks.

I live in quiet, mostly.

I will rare up and stab the odd this or that if I hear music I don't like.

I am getting that they deal with just the radio. That's ok, however lame-0.

But that's OK for a little bit, yes, osso?

Local radio give you a sense of where you are.

The main thing, surely, is the company of the folk you're sharing the trip with?

If you haven't noticed, the beast I call Old Reliable sports a cassette player. All modern, too. It has autoreverse and something called Dolby. If I had an audio cassette, I could check it all out, and see what it does.

@roger,

if it's like most old cassette players, what it does best is eat tapes...

test it with crap first.

@ehBeth,

When my best friend and myself went on long car trips (New York City to Pittsburgh or New York City to Boston), I always drove. We would alternate between our CD collections.

On the rarer short errand trips (renting a truck for the odd moving errand), I would completely monopolize the radio. It worked out that way because she paid for the rental vehicles in both cases.

Foot pedaled per chance? Is it an RV model that the Flintstones would have driven?! Razz

I was sorely disappointed upon re-reading to find an "r" in that last word. Sorely.

@tsarstepan,

Laughs re your car trips, Tsar.

I liked cds to wend my way from very north california to very south. But.. I'm impatient re local radio. I like spanish stations, but they aren't all so available either. An off ramp is how I got to know the Salinas Wall Mart. You know me, I'm no WalMart Fan. There was a Starbucks and a Wall mart at the offramp. So I double fucked myself, a few cds and a cup of burnt coffee.
