LOL you made a decision entirely based on hearsay and inuendo. All good, it is your choice.
I've never had an issue talking to an english speaking person after a quick pickup, and like the cable company I find they will give me discounts, or vouchers for tickets. Heck they even gave me a season of NFL. I just complain about the price or consider leaving every 6 month or so.

The only ads they run are for their own stations or shows. That always cheesed me off because it IS STILL and ad. They have a partnership with Pandora so I get both. I BT in my phone at home on my stereo, and in the car all the time.
Spanish Flamenco guitar has been this weeks rage. Ottmar Leibert, CUBA, and Rodrigo y Gabriella.
Of course YMMV and everyones' tastes are different.

Fun fact, Weller trained with world-class mimes to do a very fluid, fast, bird-like robotic physical language for RoboCop.

Then he put on the suit for the first time, and couldn't move.

So they carved huge chunks of the suit out, and he could barely move.

So he had to work to come up with a new physical language that was more heavy, slow, deliberate, and tank-like.

I like my SiriusXM. I listen on the road, on my mobile EVERYWHERE else. 300+ stations that I can listen to knowing that the artists are actually getting a piece of my $$$, unlike any other modern platform. SiriusXM is better for the musicians than anything but buying CD's and merch from a show. It also has artist based stations for ANYONE I can think of. I also found that I actually enjoy a curated selection by someone else who knows music. It is hard to hear new stuff from my MP3 collection. Many of the XMSirius DJ's are musicians that broadcast from the road. I drive alot and having to not change stations all the time is a joy.
It is not cheap but I derive an enormous amount of pleasure from SiriusXM.

I'm in Arizona, USA. If I stick to 65 mph I get run over in the right(slow) lane. You have to top 80 mph to get into the passing lane(left) here. I see 75% giant duallie trucks pulling 5th wheelers, loaded with ATV's/ sand rails/side-by-sides and motor bikes. All of these running on AV. gas. Hell, they still burn in the fields here...Air quality is job 19.

I commute about 150 miles to work. What I need is a car I can commute in and then after a short period use again to get around locally. I will have used my 300 or mile range by the time I am home. I'd like to be able to use the car again for an evening outing.I suppose a hybrid is mor the fit for me that a straight EV.
