I was driving to work one day and there was a truck in front of me and he had something on the tv screen in his truck, and he kept swerving all over the road. I think I have a video of it somewhere, but I'm like really? Turn the damn thing off and pay attention to the fuckin road. I ended up passing him cause he was also going 40/55.
I still listen to cds in my car. No ipod here. lol Either cds or radio.
