My car radio is rarely used to actually listen to the radio outside of sporting events. It is almost always used in conjunction with my iPod.
Don’t own an iPod and never will(though I do own a Creative Zen). I have bought two Apple products in my life and they both sucked. I am too independent to allow Steve Job to determine how I will run my life. I do have 6 disc CD player in the truck and listen to CD’s, but on long drives it is nice to just turn on one of my favorite stations and listen to good music for a couple of hours with no commercials.
