I've discovered one thing in life that the better it works the shittier it actually is. This feature has been improved so much over the years that now it actually functions worse than it used too. The beast that I speak of is the seek/scan feature button on car radios. Now I realize that in this day of satellite radio and ipods this doesn't have a huge effect on most people, but I like to rock it old school from time to time and get down with some straight up terrestrial radio. In my car if I press the seek/scan button I have hopes of it whipping through the dial at an inhuman rate of speed until if finds a tune that is sufficient to jam too. However this friggin' piece of technology thinks it's doing me a favor by stopping on every station with the slightest hint of actual sound that has a static ratio of less than 95%. I'm not looking for my scan/seek button to find some touch-hole with a ham radio broadcasting from Wichita and spending the next 5 seconds of my life trying to decipher through the static if what I'm hearing is a Satanical rant or his favorite Abba remix. I could do that spinning the tuner Pat Sajak style on my own.-post sent in by Big Mo
