I'm not sure if seeing is enough to believe! :lol:

Well I'll just be over here with my foot in my mouth.

I can't believe people are still buying vinyl new, let alone cassettes! I mean I think they're cool and I still have a dual well cassette deck and a record player hooked up to my stereo; but I also have a hard drive full of FLAC files that sound just as good as a CD which are way easier to navigate and organize. I think record companies should start releasing lossless file formats like FLACs or WAVs instead of MP3s and other lossy formats. (Do they? I don't know, I'm ignorant when it comes to online music purchases)

Haha I'm shocked that millennials (sadly I'm included in this generation) know what a cassette is, yet alone vinyl. If cassettes make a comeback, what about the floppy disk? How about the Walkman? LOL.

Man I remember playing PC games back when floppy disks were actually FLOPPY. The 5.25" bad boys.

Oh my gosh... I only knew the compact version of the floppy disk. I thought you were BS'ing me until I saw the pic

As for the Cassettes, I think it'd be cool to see them make a comeback. I still have two carrying cases full of Cassettes from my teenage days :cool:

I kinda like the look of the stock radio. Since someone had removed mine I went and got the pieces to replace it. It just doesnt sound good, I have new speakers too. Maybe there is something still wrong with it but I think it just wasnt very good. I did get one of those radio transmitting mp3 players it probably sounds worse than doing the aux mod. so Now i'll be looking for an underdash mount for a NAV radio

Those things are the definition of audio garbage. I've never heard one that was even halfway decent.

I remember having a phone that had a transmitter in it (LG Chocolate, I think), I thought I was so cool. Definitely horrible sound quality. The only ones I've seen with almost decent reception were the ones offered by Sirius/XM, built into their entry level radios, even those were ****.
