processhead He then will pull out his walk man with the cassette insert so he can jam out like it’s 2005.
No way, Jonathan was definitely jamming this on his boombox.

Another reason to drive an old car is so Jonathon can still play his cassettes…
HerbcoFood Cassettes? Don’t you mean eight tracks?

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

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.

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.

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.
