I’ve been driving my husband’s car lately because mine is being held hostage by a Kia dealership 4 hours away supposedly getting a new engine (side note: don’t buy a Kia!). My car did not have a fancy touchscreen display on the dashboard like my husband’s newer car. Mine only displayed text in very small print. It told the name of the song I was playing, but only if my phone was connected. Dear husband’s car doesn’t have as big of a display as I’ve seen in other cars, but it does show pictures and other colorful things. This deep analysis of dashboard displays was prompted by the fact that this was on the dashboard this afternoon as I drove to the store after work:

I feel like everybody around me at the red light could see directly into my car and were simultaneously judging my song choice. To be fair though, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t the display that gave away what I was listening to. I’m almost certain they could hear it through the closed windows and could also see my sweet seated dance moves from the driver’s seat. Full disclosure, this came up on my “Random Awesomeness” playlist soon after:

But really, when it comes down to it, I hear Rebel Wilson’s voice from Pitch Perfect 2 right now as I think about this, and it’s her saying: “Screw your judgments!” Damn right, Rebel!
