Those tape-players/recorders did the rewinding for you.


Not in my car. Back then I drove a POS Olds Firenza and the first thing to break in it was the tape deck.  :-\

LOL!  Now that would be an interesting fight to watch (albeit from a safe distance).

That Emperor/Superman photo is so full of win.

"Eucalyptus leaves cause hallucinations?" should be tagged to a shot from Lilo and Stitch.

I don't understand the photo with the 4x4 giant tire wagon: what are the woman and baby looking at? What's the joke...? I live in West Tennessee and I can't figure it out...

Tpek,
I drove old cars with old tape players or old car originally not equipped with tape players, remedied by buying the cheapest (and thus crappiest) car stereo with tape deck I could afford. As a resulting much of the actual tape could end up deep in the bowels of said player, requiring a very careful extraction and resulting need for manual winding.

Been there, done that... all whilst ridiculing those with 8-track players.
Any time is a good time for pie.

Well, you get what you pay for :P
In the meanwhile, I think my 30 year old VHS recorder still functions to some degree :D

Trust me, I was under no illusions. I also never used up all the change in the ashtray in case of breakdown, since this was before cell phones and pay phones were every where.

Yep, WestTN for the win.  ;D

Although if it helps you feel better, Martok, that really was my original thought (I kept trying to figure out what the baby and Mom were looking at so I would get the joke). So I was poking fun at myself.


Meanwhile, I created a thread specifically to honor this video, but I thought it would fit here, too:

A good start, but the gun needs to be bigger.  :P
