You are given your dream car. Free of charge, free upkeep, free fuel, free maintenance, free wearables.

The catch: the radio will forever play your least favorite genre of music. The volume is automatically set at an audible level while driving. This means when cruising it's at a comfortable normal level. Stomp on the loud pedal and it raises the volume (so no drowning out the music by cruising around in low gear)

Any attempt to disable the radio or change what it's playing will result in the cars immediate self immolation. Any attempt to enter the car wearing ear protection will result in immediate self immolation. Any attempt to cover the cars music through the use of headphones, a boombox, wireless speaker, etc will result in immediate self immolation.

If your dream car doesn't have a radio, one will be added. The radio added will have a small amount of static all the time as punishment for trying to find a loophole.

Could you do it? Honestly I don't know that I could. I couldn't live with modern country for long enough to enjoy the car.

Gimme a 427 Cobra and the side pipes and lack of roof will drown out a massive amount of music.

Oh shit, I forgot to put that line in. The car will have a radio added if it doesn't have one.

No loopholes!

Jayhawk Jake > Big Bubba Ray

As stated the volume will increase to be audible over exhaust noise.

I could probably drive around my 1966 Shelby AC Cobra 427 for 8 days before the Steely Dan dove me insane......

While blasting Bieber. My concern isn't that I'd have to listen to terrible music but that music would drown out the engine noise.

I don't think I could do it.

Sweet Trav > Jayhawk Jake

The worse fate is that it plays your favorite song from 7th grade over and over and over and over again.

My least favorite genre of music is happy hardcore (which is truly godawful) so NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE not for all the well built GT40 kit cars in the world.

I don't know if there are speakers that can keep up with the Cobra from that big muscle episode.

yes. If you're giving me a McLaren cost free, I'll listen to One Direction for as long as you want me to.

I would go for it. Will pop music make me sick? Likely. Will be my only chance to drive an F40 too.

Ferraris self-immolate anyway hahaha

People that wear headphones while driving deserve to catch fire.

Sam > Jayhawk Jake
09/17/2014 at 10:27

Yes. Because my least favorite type of music is exceedingly popular in my area, so all the ladies would dig it. Though it'd be funny cruising around in an Aston Martin N24 with a V12 swap, all the while blasting pop-country.

09/17/2014 at 10:27

I would use the tech from noise cancelling headphones to cancel the music out without using headphones haha.

Long story short, hell yeah, I can always try and change my tastes in music, but even if I hate it I would still drive it at least a little, no dd requirement so should be fine.

Hooker > Jayhawk Jake

Do I have to keep the car forever? Or can I just have my fun and sell it?

deekster_caddy > Jayhawk Jake
09/17/2014 at 10:34

What happens if I start to like that music? Does it automatically switch to something worse? What if you reach the point where what it's playing can't technically be called music anymore?

JR1 > Jayhawk Jake
09/17/2014 at 10:34

Guess I would just use headphones to tune it out

Stapleface-Now Hyphenated! > Jayhawk Jake
09/17/2014 at 10:35

Nope, can't say I would. Often times I will drive without the radio even on. To have something on that I dislike will make me want to crash the thing in to a wall at 100mph.

treesmakewater > Jayhawk Jake
09/17/2014 at 10:37

ohh god... I can't imagine hokey tink playing in anything German. Could I put some B&O speakers in so it at least has the best audio quality?

crowmolly > Jayhawk Jake
09/17/2014 at 10:40

No, I think this would become a modified Ludovico technique. And I like driving.

Porsche gt3 and a track and the tunes. I'll be fine. It's about the drive not the sounds

This.

If your dream car doesn't have a radio, one will be added. The radio added will have a small amount of static all the time as punishment for trying to find a loophole.

is funny.

How long will I drive this car?

Bandit > Jayhawk Jake
09/17/2014 at 10:48

Yes, I hate modern pop music but have (mostly) learned to deal with it since working as a lifeguard at a public pool for a couple years. There are only so many times you can listen to Call me Maybe before you try to kill yourself.

webmonkees > Jayhawk Jake
09/17/2014 at 10:49

The free Christine that just played music from the movie only lasted so long.

Jayhawk Jake > mcseanerson
09/17/2014 at 11:22

I'm sure there are

Kinja'd!!!

As a bonus punishment for trying to loophole, the speakers will grow in size to compensate, thereby increasing the weight of the Cobra

Jayhawk Jake > webmonkees
09/17/2014 at 11:22

Yeah, still going to play music. Nice try.

Jayhawk Jake > Sweet Trav
09/17/2014 at 11:23

Lifehouse's Hanging on A Moment? I could dig it.

mcseanerson > Jayhawk Jake
09/17/2014 at 11:24

Then I have found the ultimate loophole!

For music to be louder than this it would have to make your eardrums explode! You're deaf, no more crappy music!

Jayhawk Jake > Sir_Stig: and toxic masculinity ruins the party again.
09/17/2014 at 11:24

That won't work anyways. Noise cancellation only works for constant noise at a relatively stable frequency, not music

Jayhawk Jake > William Byrd
09/17/2014 at 11:25

Like similar hypotheticals this would be your only car

Jayhawk Jake > deekster_caddy
09/17/2014 at 11:25

I think for the sake of this argument it just plays what is currently your least favorite. If you grow to like it you like it, but it still drowns out the engine noise and that's all you get.

Jayhawk Jake > treesmakewater
09/17/2014 at 11:26

Unless the car comes with B & O speakers, no, you get whatever it has.

Jayhawk Jake > Hooker
09/17/2014 at 11:27

For the sake of argument you have to drive it at least 10,000 miles a year.

Jayhawk Jake > Leadbull
09/17/2014 at 11:27

A mix of all the ones you hate.

Jayhawk Jake > JR1
09/17/2014 at 11:27

The car will self immolate.

Any attempt to cover the cars music through the use of headphones, a boombox, wireless speaker, etc will result in immediate self immolation.

Jayhawk Jake > Sweet Trav
09/17/2014 at 11:28

I'd go insane, but it's better than Country.

Sweet Trav > Jayhawk Jake
09/17/2014 at 11:30

But even in a genre of music you despise you can often find a rare song you don't hate... you actually kind of like it.

Jayhawk Jake > mcseanerson
09/17/2014 at 11:31

If you go deaf, it falls under the 'ear protection' loophole and the car self immolates.

mcseanerson > Jayhawk Jake
09/17/2014 at 11:34

It's ear destruction. Besides, I figured you would have just forced us to get a cochlear implant.

Jayhawk Jake > Sweet Trav
09/17/2014 at 11:34

So? If I hate 99% of it I would be miserable 99% of the time.

Sir_Stig: and toxic masculinity ruins the party again. > Jayhawk Jake
09/17/2014 at 11:35

Hypothetically, if you had zero compute time and were able to tie into the speakers it would work by cancelling out the signal before the speaker ever vibrated.

Hooker > Jayhawk Jake
09/17/2014 at 11:36

Then no. I couldn't listen to crap music (at least in my opinion) for that long. What if I had to go on a road trip (which I often do)? I would die. Trust me, the car wouldn't have to self immolate, I would torch it.

treesmakewater > Jayhawk Jake
09/17/2014 at 11:48

this will effect my selection greatly

Jayhawk Jake > Sir_Stig: and toxic masculinity ruins the party again.
09/17/2014 at 11:48

Hypothetically, but that's not how it works. Also, the car would self immolate if you tried to modify the speakers

webmonkees > Jayhawk Jake
09/17/2014 at 11:51

Eventually your brain will tune out the sounds, adapt, use the other senses. It will no longer be a least favorite genre. Definitely would need a shuffle feature but eventually it would all just be white noise. Not a good life.

Park car, file suit, have car impounded, buy at auction, remove immolation devices and radio.

Big Bubba Ray > Jayhawk Jake

Ah, goddamnit I missed that part. I don't know if I could live with it then.

Nitrogen blanket and SCBA, pull the car apart and locate the immolation device. EMP if necessary. I WILL HAVE MY ZONDA!

JR1 > Jayhawk Jake
09/17/2014 at 12:28

Hmmm maybe I will go deaf

Jayhawk Jake > JR1
09/17/2014 at 12:30

Car will self immolate. I consider that to be covered by the ear protection clause since going deaf protects you from terrible music.

JR1 > Jayhawk Jake
09/17/2014 at 12:33

Then I suppose I would deal with it for pure driving excellence
