Which goes straight to the heart of my questioning technology improving our lives holistically. But I digress...

I've still have the original factory AM/FM cassette player in the mustang. I never want to upgrade it because I believe the sound quality is far superior to CD's.
Metal or Chrome bias tapes lol? I'm with ya
I watched this movie for the first time in full on Christmas. It was... meh.
I laughed when I saw a Ford Mustang, looked vaguely like an EXP or whatever the Mercury version was... as an SUX 6000.
I had a 1985 Ford Escort EXP in Midnight Purple. I miss that one.

Born too late to enjoy the space race.... born too early to explore the rest of the universe.
My parents mortgage was going to be around 11 or 11.5%, in 79, due to delay on the sellers part and then delay due to work needing to be done to qualify for the VA loan the closing was delayed by 6 months and by then the rates were near 12% and that was a good rate then. Why they didn't just find another house when the seller started delaying everything is beyond me.
Had a few of these. They looked better than they performed, but were still good. They were pricey, too. In many ways I miss that era. When recording, one had more control over the sound. and, of course, the ever argument of which noise reduction was better, Dolby or DBX.
Yup! TDK was like "Oh well they sold out of Maxell so ill get that."
Sony made cassettes too..
Ehh. If I'm spending like $20 on a Metal tape, it's the sinister all dark green Maxell XL-II S or whatever it was.
For when I record a CD on a Technics tape deck that can handle it...

My dad turned 18 in 1978 he said he feels he was born at the right time lol. He still has all his records and 8 tracks and cassettes too lol and all his old Craftsman he bought back in the 70s and 80s which he gave to me. He has showed me many pictures of the cars and time period I would have fit right in. He said there was always fun and parties happening too lol. Nothing like today.
That describes me. Consequently my vehicles last a lot longer. The oil I drain is recycled and used again.
It takes a lot of fossil fuels and pollution to create a EV. Do the math and you will have to drive a EV car for over 50 years to get any reduction of the air quality used to produce just the batteries.
I found out there was a new 8 track release this year! It was a limited release by a indie band Savannah Grand, which I had never heard of prior.
