My alternator died in my bug the other day so I have been driving a rental and as a result long trips to work and home with no empeg. I never realized how long of a drive it is with out music. the rental doesnt have a tape or cd player just am/fm and reception is horrible. not worth trying. Gawd the alternator needs to hurry up and get here from CA so I can get my bug/empeg back on the road with me. Just have to wait til Thursday/Friday thats it.. I can make it..
