Pretty hard to abandon technology unless you live under a tree and kill animals for food with your bare hands

@MikefromEP:

In that case, you sound like a great contender for the purchase of my 8-Track that I recently inherited. Are you in for this once in a lifetime opportunity?

@swirlie: When you consider the last music CD I bought was about 15 years ago.. You should keep it

@MikefromEP:

But this baby comes with reel-to-reel tapes. Country music tapes! I think you should go for it!

@swirlie: Reel to Reel :O That is a collectible :O No one had those when they were cool.. for 6 months........

@MikefromEP:

Really!?

The unit is mounted under the dash board of a car that I also inherited. Basically, the 8-Track has to stay with the car because it's mounting bracket appears to be welded into place. The car is a `68 Volkswagen Bug. Low mileage! You want them both now, right!?

@swirlie: You lost the sales pitch with the VW. I am too tall to sit in them

@MikefromEP:

Did I mention it was a rag-top? "Was" meaning, it's not there anymore. You will definitely fit.

@swirlie: Nope. Catching bugs driving on the highway is not good

@MikefromEP:

I'm getting a strange 'vibe' from you, that you are making excuses. I can see you in that car having fun! Why have you suddenly lapsed into denial-mode?

@swirlie: All of your 8 tracks are from the Lawrence Welk Orchestra
swirlie · 31-35, F
@MikefromEP:

No Lawrence Welk in the collection. Only Tammy Wynette from Nashville.

@swirlie: No Barbara Mandrell ? :O
