    Many years ago my station of choice when driving to work started running an advert for car safety. The sound effect was a loud blaring car horn and the sounds of screaming tires and a crash. The first, second, third time I heard it was instant jolt of panic and left me jittery. I switched stations after the third time.

      Made a greentext out of your story (I took some creative liberties):

      be me, driving to work still tired and half asleep

      turn on radio loudly to wake me up a bit

      suddenly hear the most horrific accident happening

      Heartattack.jpg

      take a second to compose myself

      it was the fucking radio station

      fully awake now

        And this is part of why I don't listen to the radio while I drive. The other part is because I bought a cheap android stereo and I couldn't be fucked to buy the adapter to hook my antenna up to the stereo.
        I guess being lazy is saving me from early morning drive radio jump-scares.

              Also radio is trash. My phone has like 13 hours of music on it and then YouTube music is practically endless, all I need is an FM transmitter or a tape deck because my car is from 2001.

                HA! MAY CAR IS WAAAAAAAY NEWER THAN YOURS!

                ......2006.

                When I bought it, it had an even cheaper android stereo in it. When I was looking for a interim replacement before I spent over £100, I found the one that was installed when I bought it.....for £12.
                Ended up with an ~£80 deck that came with a half decent reverse camera, which was almost the only requirement for me other than Bluetooth.
                I honestly kinda wish it had come with a tape deck, being on the edge of old I still have a bunch of tapes. Used to have a load of CDRs, but rot got them. 🤷
                I have about 60Gb of music on my phone, I'll occasionally switch some of it out for new stuff. I had Google Play Music back in what is now considered "The Day" and now I pretty much refuse to use any streaming service.

                  Also, this announcement but first: "You're listening to another ad-free power-half-hour on KKKK", with that ad for the station repeated every 10 minutes.

                      Anon is totally gay, but the realness present in this text has broken my brain.

                      Also, that song is still fucking awesome.

                      Thats one of those cases of "Fuck I hate that band except that one song"

                      Like Burn it to the Ground by Nickelback.

                        My car is from 2004, doing a radio upgrade was actually really easy and by far the best thing i did. It cost like $50 and gave me android auto, bluetooth, aux, usb and some other things i dont use. It was basically plug and play.

                          And that's the other reason I didn't listen to the radio.

                                  I just noticed the headphones in the picture are Audeze LCD 2, I think. Expensive AF. In case anyone wanted to know that.

                                  I had them for all of 5min before returning them- they're heavy af. My neck ain't built to sustain that kind of weight.

                                    Never tried them. The best headphones / "earspeakers" I ever tried were Stax. They blew me away. 2k $ tho. I have the much more reasonably priced Sennheiser HD 650 and AKG 712 pro with a FiiO DAC/AMP, which are both light and comfy.
