satellite radio... The music and talk selection isn't really any better than what you'd get on AM/FM.

Are you serious? Have you tried to listen to terrestrial radio lately? Aside from the odd college or community station, nobody -- and I mean nobody -- is willing to play anything even slightly adventurous, anything that diverges from their cast-in-stone format. And if you don't like one of the three available formats, sorry, too bad.

Satellite's got a much wider range of channels, and no commercials. Sure, I wish there were even more channels, and I'll admit that the whole thing is a needless luxury, but it's definitely one I'm willing to pay money for.
