Fiend of mine's car conked recently, so she was forced in the short tem to hire one 'til she could get another of her own.

A very irritating prob with the hire vehicle was that when the engine was started, the radio came on automatically & tuned to one of those very loud gobbledygook stations.

She could find a way to switch it off, but there appeared to be no way of silencing it from first ignition.

Guess modern manufacturers think that's what's wanted?
