    Haha, no big deal, just every time someone had 8 tracks for sale at a swap meet I would dig through them. Most of them cost me a buck a piece... pretty harmless fun if you think about it

    My wife car pooled with a couple of other girls. She drove an OT Eldorado. One day she came home and said I need a newer car. One of the girls bought a new cassette tape and wanted to play it on the way home. My wife told her "I have an 8 track". I said you have an AM FM 8 track CB that is as deluxe as it gets.

    Found it! Not very good quality and not exactly as I remembered it, but still a blast from my past



    And another Gulf commercial you all will like

    I was walking the swap meet at the Rocky Mtn nats, a dad & his young teenage daughter were checking out some items. She asks "what are these ?" Dad answers that those are 8 tracks. She asks if they are video games ? He explained what they are & I felt a lot older.
