That actually is a bit of a shock. I listen to a lot of music for pleasure. I would have figured you did too, at least while you drive. You must have when you were younger.
I often listen to my car when I drive. (Which is a big subject and I'm definitely in the mood to talk about it - so get me started, if you want. I've probably never had this conversation with you. I think you'd find it interesting.)
But, I listen to very select music - more often than not. If I'm listening to the radio, it's often for research purposes - and ends up being like work. I do have a whole lot of very specific playlists, however. I also own a massive, massive library of music.
I might listen to three songs in a week. Of those, two will be for pleasure and one will be me listening to it 20 times in a row.
I'm definitely guilty of listening to the same song over and over, I'm not exactly sure why I do it but I do.
What are you listening for when you listen to your car? I know I listen for engine hiccups and suspension noise but I can do that while music is on.
That's a great question, I'm glad you asked!
I'll try to answer it with some degree of brevity - but, as I told you, it's a pretty long story.
I'm a driving enthusiast. Though, I'm not like many typical driving enthusiasts.
My daily driver is a BMW 650i. I listen to the road noise (specifically a lack of it), the engine, the exhaust note, the shift change, and the sound of air passing and doing its thing.
After my divorce, I bought my midlife crisis car. That was a Viper. It didn't even come with a slot to put a radio in it.
My next car may well end up being one of the AMG GT R models. I'm not sure I want to leave the BMW brand, however.
