Reasons to drive an old car

HerbcoFood Cassettes? Don’t you mean eight tracks?
bocephus well I am not old enough to have used them, yes I know what they are, what they look like, etc., I am from the cassette generation.

processhead And all along I though it was an 8-Track
Chef is it really an old car if it didn’t have an 8 track???

You can test the people who claim to be from the 8-track generation cuz they will all know what you needed the book of matches for. lol

processhead But then you had to have a pencil or pen when you tried to save the cassette when the machine tried to eat them!

Yes! And that was if you were lucky enough to get the tape out in one piece and undamaged.

Think about those ancient times and then think about how today we can stream jsut about any music into our cars we want off the internet.
My, how far we have come.
I am glad meat processing technology moves at a decidedly slower pace.

processhead I think we better stop as we are really showing our age, what’s next, portable record players?

And those were the good ole days??? Seems a long time ago with today’s tech. -
Well, I guess one step further back was my first car and an AM radio with just three bad stations on it. That made having an 8 track player and a couple decent speakers seem like pretty high living.

I can remember doing the big upgrade on my 73 Gran Torino from the 8 Track to a cassette. It may be hard to believe but cassette tapes were a technological advancement at one time. Man I wish I still had that car.

bocephus we’re not old, we are just experienced at life.

processhead My first vehicle just had AM radio and I remember installing an AM/FM with cassette and added some better speakers, man I was in tall cotton!

I can’t remember the exact age where having tunes became a major thing, but from that point on I have not been able to get by without a sound track to my life.

My Brother has a 73 Dodge Motorhome that he jams out to 8 tracks everytim he drives it. It came with a great collection!

I have a 2002 jeep TJ as a hobby/backup vehicle. We take it out to the mountains and when weather gets bad my wife drives my RAM and I drive this since her daily is frontwheel drive. The Jeep is incredibly simple to work on and enjoyable to maintain. I’ve learned a lot of simple maintenance skills since I’ve owned jeeps. I used to have a 1992 YJ. I bought it in Denver and owned it for about a year before turning a $3500 profit on it!!

@matt-westerhaus I have always wanted to own one but have never pulled the trigger to buy one.

bocephus now is not the time to either, I bought this one with 100K on the 4.0L 5spd about two years ago for $6K. I’ve put a little money in it but not much. Tires and a top basically. She’s all stock and unmolested otherwise. Jeeps like this, even with higher miles are bringing $15K all day right now. It is crazy.
