I originally bought XM fo a trip from California to Kansas and back solo. I figured it would keep me awake and help pass the time on a long tow. I tuned up and down listening to many different things. (Note, I love car racing, but NASCAR radio is the most boring thing on the air!) I now leave it tuned almost exclusively to the two comedy channels. As someone mentioned it cheers me up on the way home from work, or on a short trip. -Seth
