It was $11 I didn’t need or use anymore.
In fact, that snappy iPod I won last year has gone AWOL. Frankly, I don’t really miss it. I was balking at spending the $50-$100 needed to get a car adapter which is all I would use it for anyway. No iTunes spending for me.
I am trying to stick only to the essentials, which is why I decided to go to the Gogol Bordello show in DC next month with my friends. They said it was a fantastic time, so if I am going to spend time doing anything with that crowd, this looks to be the event. I am eschewing all the weekly happy hours and only attending social events at people’s homes so that I can bring food/booze, and good times. That somehow always seems cheaper than hitting happy hour every week.
I am in the midst of planning my annual large camping trip. For some reason, I’m being completely silly about getting a car. I keep thinking that I can fudge it in some manner so that my friends can pick me up from the airport when I arrive and deliver me to a hotel before I leave. (10-days without a real shower means I need to wash up before flying.)

You should find that ipod and sell it on ebay or craigslist! That way you’ll get cash and the ipod will be used by someone, not just wasted.
I love my ipod – I have lots of CDs so I just burn them and listen to them, or download podcasts. I’ve never paid for itunes.
$50-$100 for an ipod car adapter? I paid $20 at Target for mine. Maybe check there? Granted, I’m adapting my ipod to my car’s TAPEDECK…
some of the transmitter/chargers can cost upward of $60
Hooray for Gogol Bordello coming to DC! I felt like the tickets were a little splurge, but it’s summertime and am excited! It’s almost always worth spending $ on a good experience, right?!
I agree with Hazygrey on the value of the iPod. I load it with music, podcasts, and audiobooks from the public library. I get to learn quite a bit on my walks to and from work — free. If I lost it, I’d be off to the Apple store the same day! (Cursing my loss the whole time, but it is THE GADGET I use the most!)
