what is great is that there are all the different options.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
what's the best method of hooking it up so I can listen in the car?
The best method is what Rio or Lee did, with a direct connection to the car stereo that doesn't use either FM (lowest quality) or cassette (higher quality).
Neo Ion is one such solution.

Paying $6 or so bux to store a movie seems like a square deal to me.
But that's not how PPV is supposed to work, is it? You're supposed to be paying $6 to watch the movie once. Keeping it on your hard drive is therefore stealing from someone.
Moreover, how does your saving PPV movies benefit their creators more than my Netflixing them?

Now tagless for your comfort.
My PPV isn't a "one time only" watch. You rent it for 24 hours and can replay as often as you like in that time frame. It also has pause and rewind. And you can stop it to do something else and return to where you left off. Edited for--we only pay $3.95 per movie, too. So, bargain.
Overall, one of the better options, I think.
What kind of person cold-calls someone asking if you can "help them out" by getting a hold of a neighbor that you may or may not even know? I just got a call as I was putting the baby down and a person asked if I could help them get in touch with someone who lives two house down from me. Debt collectors maybe?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Debt collectors maybe?
Bounty hunters!!!
eta: I advise you to capture your neighbor yourself. The reward could be substantial.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
ita comes out swinging!
Granted, PPV means pay-per-view. The license probably reads "don't record". Beats me, I never read it. The pricing of PPV, however, is above that $2 figure, which reflects that somebody ain't getting paid. Guess who?
On the other track in this thread: Yes! Dead-busted-broke is not all there is to "class" outside the States.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Granted, mine was my land line--so they probably just picked me out of the phone book. I've had this happen once or twice since I lived here. Not nearly as weird as Jesse, I think. That was bizarre.
I guess I should call my PPV, Movies on Demand, as per Time Warner so as not to confuse.

Oh, if it was Dog the Bounty Hunter, I'd have offered my assistance. This smacked of bill collecting, though.
