Trivial Annoyances
When are consumers going to figure out that seedless watermelons with their strangely mottled flesh and lack of flavor are CRAP?

Re: Trivial Annoyances
I agree, all those tiny little seeds are gross.

Fuck watermelons!
I hate pop culture and media charting every move of Justin Bieber (for instance).
JB puked in a bucket. Pot found on JB's bus.
What do they expect?

Drugs in sport.
I feel better. Thank you.

Re: Trivial Annoyances
Looking for a replacement to my 23-year old car, I just discovered that most recent vehicles don't have cd players anymore, not even as an option. Bluetooth is the new thing, but what if you don't use your phone to store and listen to music?

Re: Trivial Annoyances
Jaka, don't most new cars also have a USB port/Aux In? When Patti & I rent cars on vacation, we use our iPod in addition to the car radio and simply plug into the available USB port via a short cable. You could even use a thumb drive.

Re: Trivial Annoyances
The idea was also to avoid using digitized music (and I have no iPod... Still using portable cd players when on the move - I'm a dinosaur, I know) and continue to be able to choose a disc from the shelves right before leaving in the morning and put it in the car.
Multi-disc player in the trunk might be the solution in the end.

You can't beat those portable cd players with the 10 second overwrite.

Re: Trivial Annoyances
Most cars still have CD's but some are being eliminated now and more will be in time

Re: Trivial Annoyances
Mike: I assume you mean that most new cars still have cd players. Is that right?
Since vinyl is making a small comeback, I'm still betting on 8-track cartridge players.

Re: Trivial Annoyances
Mike is right. Many cars still have cd players, but I should have precised that THE models I had views on (from the manufacturer I trust because I had a previous one from them which lasted 23 or so years without any problem) and that I can afford don't. Hence the disappointment.
Now, if I have to go through the process of selecting another model from another manufacturer... Switched to another annoyance.
But I'll investigate the mini-jack connection thing before.

Re: Trivial Annoyances
Jaka, if you don't mind sharing this info, what make/model are you interested in purchasing?
Patti & I also have a vehicle we bought a long time ago, but it's not quite in your category yet. Our car is 15 years old, a VW Passat GLS, which had a dedicated space in the trunk for a Panasonic 6-CD Changer, which I purchased and had installed. It's completely hidden from view and takes up no usable space.
Good luck!

Hey, Jaka, do they actually list "blue sportish bullshit" as an option in the brochure?

Re: Trivial Annoyances
I'm as big a gadget freak as the next guy. But one of my biggest annoyances is that cars have gotten so full of gadgetry they require the driver to have an engineering degree to tune the radio.
For example, I'm on my third Audi. The first one had two giant knobs to turn for temperture and fan and a button to push to turn the a/c on and off. My current car makes it much more difficult to select temp and fan - and I have to do it TWICE because of the idiotic "dual climate control".
The radio and cd player on the current one are OK. But I'm actively shopping for a newer one, and every time I drive one, it ruins my day because the cd slot is NOT REACHABLE BY THE DRIVER, (the morons who make these decisions put it in the Friggin' GLOVE BOX) - and that's just for starters.
OY VEY!
