    I’d probably have an audiobook going. Then when I got there, I would probably have to sit in the car for a few minutes to get to a good stopping point. I’m sure the kidnappers would understand.

    No. If I’m going somewhere to save someone, I don’t want my presence to be openly announced to everyone by having my music blaring, especially not some kidnappers. I’d want to be as quiet as possible, whether that’s on the way there or while dealing with kidnappers. I’m not smart enough to know what I shouldn’t end up saying and who knows if the info I blab about could be used against me in some way, so shutting up would be the best solution.

    Life is not an action movie. If that actually happened I wouldn’t be blindly throwing myself in the middle of a group of armed/dangerous guys. I’d be calling the cops (they’re more trained than I am to handle the situation) and freak out hoping nothing bad happens to her.

        We don’t have guns where I’m from, and I don’t have a car. So I’m more likely to get myself killed.

        No no I’m pretty sure the math maths out.

          In America you just stop by the next gas station and buy a ton of explosives and a machine gun with 30 filled magazines. Then you grab a jerrycan of gasoline and some lighters and the cashier wishes you a nice evening on your party.

        Nah, I’m my fantasies I go Rambo style and slice everyone with a tactical knife while wearing a ghillie suit and warpaint, before carrying my wife victoriously in my arms to safety…but that wasn’t the point was it ?

    If my phone’s in Bluetooth range, music is going to automatically start playing at high volume in about 10s anyway, because that’s always how I last existed the car.

    Coincidentally my wife hates it because when she gets in the car to leave, it still gets connection to my phone in the house and starts blaring hard rock, psychedelic rock, journey trance, or syntheave.

        There’s a lot and all over the place. Hard, simple, cosmic, journey…

        I love our Australian stuff. There’s early Tame Impala (first two albums), lots of the King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is psych rock (soooo many albums), and probably my fave is High Visceral Pt. 1 by the Psychedelic Porn Crumpets. The song Denmark / Van Gogh & Gone is a great headphones track.

        Also, Pond.
