It was fortuitous though as we were going to get my daughter a car for college so this meant that I could let her take my car and I&#8217;d take my dad&#8217;s. Other than finding out that I needed to completely replace the AC system, I&#8217;ve also missed the Sirius XM that I had in my car. 2010 is the year before hands free (bluetooth) and satellite radio became more standard issue in all cars. I&#8217;m also missing the hands free. ANYWAY, my point is that I&#8217;m back to listening to <a href=\"https:\/\/kut.org\">KUT<\/a> a lot more again.
