I always add a little white noise hiss when I rip CDs so people think it's vinyl.

that 409 was more likely as powerful as that ploy 318,or a later 70's small block anything . the 340 hp wasn't anywhere near a fire breather as the 400 or 425 were, but yes even with a 3 on the tree over drive trans and 3:36 gears it got the job done at least till we got to Colorado, funny was it became my brothers first car, that 409 became a 427, dads replacement car was a 69 belair SW, 265 hp 396 with a 4 speed and a 3:36 posi and a first for us AC
music wise. OMG i taught i was bad, ripped all my LP's, 45's, 4 and 8 track tapes, cd's into my desk top, 5 years of work, 4.446 files holding a total of 68,176 songs and taking up 390 GB of space . made up 5 -16gb usb sticks that stay in the truck , never have the radio playing xm or any of the 3 stations we can get , since i'm a old rock/blues/country music lover

My first car (63 Polara) had the pushbutton. Loved that thing.

Im one of the last boomers and was in my teens when CD came out, so yeah, it is a Boomer thing. Walkman too. Never did understand the big deal over 8 track, though we still have some and a player. Halfway through a song, fade, click, fade back in.

Almost forgot about those long tracks spanning channels, thanks for that memory. 8-tracks were superior in fidelity to cassettes, with larger tape width and faster speed. I really wish they would've designed cassettes with the larger tape and speed, but then they wouldn't have been so compact. But, I digress...

I started driving in 1975. 8-tracks then were in their heyday. I could buy a tape from a local flea market for 2 bucks. They were pirated copies and oftentimes lousy recordings, but I didn't care. Guaranteed to last a month before being swallowed up by the player. I must have gone through a half dozen Physical Graffiti tapes.

The best part of 8-track.

1 Fading out in the middle of the song to change tracks then fade back in.
or
2. Having a 2 minute gap at the end of a track.
