Is that atrax or however you spell it? I’m not being funny, I’m a 90’s baby. I’ve heard plenty of reference to them, but have never bothered to find out what they looked like.
8-tracks really were a technological abomination, the tapes' internals would often eventually get worn and stretched out and internally tangled and start jamming and there was a period of time in the late 70s or early 80s when a very common sight was a snarled up 8 track cartridge that had disemboweled itself and that someone had hurled out the window, and was hanging from a branch by its self-spewed tangled-tape guts. Casettes weren't the world's greatest technology but a good casette in a good deck was decent, and at least they rarely failed.
8 track. The name comes from the fact that the tape is a continuous loop inside with 8 recorded tracks, 4 pairs of tracks (left and right channel)
Nice, my first nice car was a 2006 G35. That did not have a tape deck starting in either 05 or 06. I would imagine that’s around the time auto manufacturers stopped including them.
Lol, when I went searching for the last car made in the US with a tapedeck, I thought it was gonna be a G. I remember seeing a used G on my lot with a tape deck and factory ashtray thinking it was the last dinosaur. Little did I know lexus took longer. Makes sense concerning lexus's demo.
