Install headers and a cherry-bomb exhaust, and you won't need no steekin' car 
stereo no more.

You've got a selective memory!!

A car stereo in the 80's used cassettes. With a cassette, you've got flutter, 
rewinding, and a player that randomly ate your tapes. You also had tapes 
scattered about your car, usually encrusted with some substance that may or may 
not have come from McDonald's or the dog.

I was happy a few years back to throw my cassette collection into the garbage.

Oh, and TV sets and VCRs stunk compared to today. The TV shows stunk, too. With 
netflix, I rewatched some of those older shows, and was appalled at how bad they 
were. Try watching an 80's miniseries - gawd, what stinkers.

But I did like 80's fashions much better than today's. The 70's were the worst, 
and the 80's the best.
