#toothless is magical I love him

magical thing I learned about my car

he can play music off a FLASHDRIVE

like, I'm probably the last person to know about this, but my little VW bug Toothless has a stereo system that (I'm told) was installed in him some time after one of his former owners got him. Among other fascinating features, this console includes a USB port. I had. never considered that I could use this to play music until I got one of those automated sale text messages from a music artist I follow about a USB drive he was selling with EIGHTY songs on it for twenty five dollars.

So naturally I remember Toothless' USB drive and go grab a flashdrive with music (among a million other things) on it and go plug it in to see what happens.

and suddenly there's J.R.R. Tolkien in my car singing "Blunt the Knives", which I didn't even REALIZE was ON the flashdrive and then I go to the next song and when did I download 'Numb' by Linkin Park?!

so, uh, yeah, my car can play music off a flashdrive. if your car ALSO has a USB port you. you might want to check that. because I'm pretty sure it's magic.
