Hey man... 78 Malibu and a pull out Clarion deck. With 15 or so mixed/ dubbed tapes in the car. It was the only way to road trip!!! I have some fond memories but whoever is trying to bring back cassettes and walkmans needs to stop. The batteries on a walkman wore out after about 1.5 hrs, tapes got eaten and chewed. It sucks even more when it's a videogame for your Atari 2600 or 400 whatever.
I was specifically thinking car audio (factory stereos) when I suggested I could see the use of 8 tracks.
My first car was a '77 Eldorado that I got in '95. Loved that car. Factory stereo was AM/FM/CB only (CB didn't work by the time it made it to me) that I replaced with a Jensen tape deck. I was the tail end of the mixtape generation.
