I don't do donation or micro-patronage for any radio station in particular, but I've done it for artists, blogs, comics, etc .
NPR is the only radio station in my market I would even come CLOSE to giving any money directly, though, the market here is all clear channel, all the time

It's almost impossible to work on new cars yourself anyway. I have a 2010 and I can hardly find the oil filter.

I like new cars. More to hack. You can get your own diagnostic stuff. Just don't go out like Paul Walker with the laptop in the dash, you don't want to have to reboot at speed

are you a mechanic with tools? I can hardly get my hand in anywhere. And my car has eight computers in it.
My old 68 ford I did most all the work myself.

And why I think that we have too much technology rather than too little. The common/average man can rarely know much about what they are using anymore and personal skills and the economy and satisfaction from them do not develop.
This could be an age related bias on my part however. In fact I know it is.

The cars today are so far superior to anything we could ever fix it isn't funny. When I was a kid if a car hit 100,000 miles it was very unusual. Not quite a miracle but definitely remarkable.

strange, when II was a kid we had a 64 falcon that hit 100k miles when we bought it, it had 300k miles and still ran great when my step dad got drunk and sold it
icelander, I have no issues with getting my hands into the tight spots and yes, I still have some tools and for those spots where my hands cant reach, I just pretend to be smarter than the parts I'm trying to reach

What kind of cars were you driving? My old volvo hit 300,000 when I sold it and it was running great. That Ford I mentioned had 180,000 when I sold that for the 88 volvo.

I owned a 64 falcon with a stick. Steel blue. I loved that car. It may have been the best little car I owned. I was a kid and gave it away in trade for a complete piece of shit that I though would make me look cool.

Reality has a well-known progressive/liberal bias(using the american political definitions of those words).
For all the NPR haters - can you honestly point to a better free(radio cost is negligible), widespread and objective source of news in the lower 48? MSNBC, Fox, CNN, etc. are all controlled by mega-corporations who only have an interest in shallow sensationalist coverage at best and cynical political objectives at worst. On a daily basis NPR does more than just provide a smattering of headlines with more Charlie Sheen coverage; they examine the deep causes which manifest themselves in a variety seemingly separate events. You also don't have to put up with greedy mega-corporations selling you shit you don't need for problems you don't have.

I have zero interest in any in depth reporting and analysis by a bunch of biased commie hacks. If they can survive on their own then let them. Otherwise, fuck them. And anybody who turns to radio or television for "in depth analysis" is as shallow as a piece of paper.

Who cares if they're Nazis as long as they don't let it affect their reporting(spoiler: they don't)? I'm guessing you haven't spent much time listening to NPR if you think that it's somehow 'shallow'...Where do you get your information O Wise One?

Commie hacks? Can you provide evidence of this claim? (I mean real evidence and not one of your silly rants)
