Help a fellow American down on his luck charity drive

You'd kill it with half the girls in Brooklyn driving that thing. The other half would laugh and throw shit at you.

I swapped out my CD player with a CD/cassette player that my dad had specifically for this purpose. The adapters work way better than those bullshit FM tuners.

You guys are lucky your car even has a cassette deck. The FM tuners are absolutely horrible. There are some parts of my commute where my ipod would cut out entirely to be replaced with truck chatter or strange foreign music. A road trip becomes a nightmare of having to readjust the channel every two hours, and some areas are outright dead zones. Newer technology isn't always better.

Thankfully my new car has a USB port right in the stero. Direct connection, voice control, and no bullshit. But for all the bells and whistles, the cassette adapter works just as well at a fraction of the cost.

So serving ice cream out of that thing is how you've bagged all those pubescent’s, I was thinking all of those jokes were just that... bad Barney, bad.

I'm touched that Repo would start this charity drive in my honor. Now, cut the chit chat and let's donate!

The truth is, the car in question is actually an '02 Mazda Tribute that yes, has a tape deck. It's kind of weird. It's totally factory, probably one of the last tape decks ever made.

On the '07 Nissan Frontier we have, we have one of the newer USB stereos so it's not an issue there. But my wife usually drives it.

The FM transmitters are HORRIBLE. There's no point in 'em. I have one of the top-of-the-line Monster ones and it still sucks.

Not buying an American Mexican car is a sin against your god and country.

Much like my post.

The transmitters are terrible where I am because I'm on the edge of two separate metropolitan regions. Virtually all of the tuning slots are taken by commercial radio.

But -- still amusing now and again. I was cruising down Interstate 97 with a buddy when our station dropped out, replaced by lesbian porn from the chick in the Nissan Xterra driving past us. My buddy shouted "follow that car!" and we did, along with three or four other vehicles. I spent most of the time avoiding accidents while everybody jockeyed for the best position. Eventually the woman in the Xterra (pissed off at the knot of traffic) figured out why we were all pressing up against her and turned it off. Everybody honked and waved to say thanks.

I have a 2007 Sedona that plays mp3 disks and cassettes, but no external input that I can plug my Kindle into. So I may be grabbing one of these soon.

Good grief, listening to porn while driving? That's just sad. The real low has to be seeing a bunch of dudes leering at you from their respective cars and realizing they know what you're listening to.

Kind of similar story; when I was a bike messenger the Opie and Anthony radio show had chartered a completely transparent bus and filled it with naked women dancing, showering, and making out. I think they were broadcasting from it. They drove that sucker up and down Manhattan for a while, collecting quite an entourage of hangers on before the NYPD shut them down and arrested everyone on the bus. I rode next to it for a few blocks while it was going my way down Broadway, and a few of the girls were really hamming it up for my benefit. Pretty funny, but I bet it was a rough couple of days for them in the tombs.
