You don't watch 8-tracks, you listen to them.


Just sayin'.

I guess Keith will have to take you for a ride in his Nova. And if you're lucky, he might let you play with his 8-track!

Sometimes you had better watch'em! A friend of mine back in high school had a Plymouth with a built 440 that when you took off hard, the 8-track tape would fly out of the player. If you were sitting in the middle, you had better be ready to catch it, or you might get a sore lip.

hmmm....We are not in the right forum to have you further qualify that statement. So I won't.

Riggers I have a Kenwood 8-track (packed away somewhere with an amp before I moved?) along with Sony Speakers that will make you cry it sounds so good along with about 50 8-tracks. I wired it in my Crown Vic a while back with a bottle of Jack just for the memories. I could not hear for a while. Just like a concert but you had to leave the key off! I killed the 800 amp battery.
