a good stereo will be u&k when i buy a new car in a month or two but it's a fuckin rental that's probably going to get destroyed by juggalos.

estimate the percent chance that whiney was very actively thinking about the twitter possibilities while he was making this decision
― iatee, Thursday, 11 August 2011 20:15 (twelve years ago) link
is there a number bigger than 100
if i was going on a hella long road trip a good stereo would be the primary concern
i mean if he didnt check that out the first time he got in the car thats on him but i fuxx with good sound
iirc most of u little dudes listen to music on laptop speakers so

actually, i will be renting a car in like two weeks for work! i will not be concerned with the stereo, because it's a rental!
"Hi I'm a music reviewer and it is my livelihood and it is essential I have a LOUD car stereo so that I may do my job"
btw in no way do I believe he actually did this, it just sounds like something someone would say on twitter to be clever
― mh, Thursday, 11 August 2011 20:17 (twelve years ago) link
i really can't imagine that whatever car he got in return had a noticeable louder stereo than whatever car he had in the first place, they are all rental cars
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 11 August 2011 20:17 (twelve years ago) link
like when I joke about making an anechoic chamber in my basement for fun
I'm just bitter because my car only has one working speaker and no working volume control, soI can't hear anything if I'm driving faster than 40mph.

if i was less terrified of customer service interactions i would ask the rental agent in cincinnati for the car with the sickest audio system and report back to you guys.

sorry I only follow car dealership updates via twitter

btw there's no way whiney's drive was more than 3.5 hours, so it's not "a super long road trip"
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 11 August 2011 20:20 (twelve years ago) link
in fact he spent 1/3 of that amount of time driving from and to the rental car place + waiting for a new car
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 11 August 2011 20:21 (twelve years ago) link
I mean he's only driving from one side of brooklyn to the other, right?
― iatee, Thursday, 11 August 2011 20:21 (twelve years ago) link
they should give him a stereo that only sounds good playing witch house

nah, he did it
― markers, Thursday, 11 August 2011 21:10 (twelve years ago) link
okay, that's just being an asshole, unless the stereo was actually broken
You know that's going to be the reason, not that the factory settings were too low.
― ≝ (Pleasant Plains), Thursday, 11 August 2011 21:11 (twelve years ago) link
maybe rental car stereos have lower output so people don't blow the speakers

Only saying that there will be justification for this, you wait.

I've had some rental cars that do this annoying thing where the stereo gets loud when you step on the gas, but then gets really quiet when you slow down or stop. It's actually some kind of setting that you can change if you find out how to work the menu on the stereo.
― o. nate, Thursday, 11 August 2011 21:28 (twelve years ago) link
I've noticed that before too, that the stereo would go down as I turned a corner. Took me awhile to figure out it wasn't me.
There are some damn stupid features cars get sold with these days.

haha yeah my car has speed-sensitive volume, i've never tried it tho sounds kinda dumb

I forgot about that! My car has it too, kind of nice but I am twitchy so I turned it off.
― mh, Thursday, 11 August 2011 21:49 (twelve years ago) link
I mean, talk about your FIRST WORLD PROBLEM and all, but who the hell raised so much of a fuss about not being able to hear their radio when the engine revved too hot.
― ≝ (Pleasant Plains), Thursday, 11 August 2011 21:49 (twelve years ago) link
oh i dunno. i for one am sick of having to turn down the volume manually every time i turn a corner.

Can I get a home stereo system that automatically lowers its volume when the needle first hits the record or gets to the label? That scuffing sound is going to ruin my speakers.
― ≝ (Pleasant Plains), Thursday, 11 August 2011 21:51 (twelve years ago) link
my ex's car had that and it was real annoying at first until i discovered that the stereo's RPM-sensitive volume feature actually had three or four ~different levels of sensitivity~
once i got it dialed in to the level that worked for me it was awesome

i blew out my speakers years ago when i maxed the volume when Hollaback Girl came on the radio

You shouldn't have to do this. It's like Microsoft engineers have taken over the auto industry.
― ≝ (Pleasant Plains), Thursday, 11 August 2011 23:08 (twelve years ago) link
no, it was like driving w/o having to adjust the volume knob ever
― ( •ิ.•ั) (gr8080), Thursday, 11 August 2011 23:10 (twelve years ago) link
How loud are these engines? Of all the things that interferes with whether or not I can hear something, the RPMs are down on the list.
It would even be more distracting for me since if I'm slowing down, I'm probably looking for a street number and i don't need the volume popping back up.
― ≝ (Pleasant Plains), Thursday, 11 August 2011 23:14 (twelve years ago) link
well presumably, the faster your engine is going, it usually means the car is also going faster-- more friction from the road/wind etc.
this is when the volume would be rolling back down, pp.

luckily, my truck makes so much racket that the only setting that makes sense is MAX VOLUME at ALL TIMES
― Kerm, Thursday, 11 August 2011 23:23 (twelve years ago) link
See, I'm already getting confused. Just leave it set at 12 and I'll manage on my own.
― ≝ (Pleasant Plains), Thursday, 11 August 2011 23:39 (twelve years ago) link
FYI, J0rd, the display literally said "VOLUME LIMITED" when u tried to turn it up.
I had about 4.5 hours driving today. I lost maybe 45 minutes of my day. Totally worth it.
What, was i going to be alone with my thoughts?! Literally the only thing I like about driving is blasting rap records.
