A year ago last month, The Girlfriend bought herself a new car, and along with that, she received a free one-year subscription to SiriusXM <\/a>satellite radio. At first, we scorned this value-add as an unnecessary luxury, but we both quickly became rather fond of it. The lack of commercials is a big attraction, of course, but what really won us over was the variety and depth of the programming.
