The Funny Picture/Video Thread, 15th Edition: Be more like Coleman.

I had an FM modulator that plugged into the radio antenna inline. It worked pretty good.

That's probably older than a tape adapter.

My first car, '63 Dodge Custom 880, had an AM/FM tube radio, but the FM was not good.
Even by '72 when I bought it, we had plenty of FM.
That early Dodge effort just did not sound good.

I didn't know enough back then to think of switching out tubes.

Pic for the thread. NOT my car, but just like mine, except for the fancy shoes and the white top. Mine was all red. 383, 4 barrel from the factory.
The 4dr versions had a 383 2bbl, as a tip of the hat to the family man.

I had that and also had a radio station transmitter that the car radio picked up to play music from an iPod. Later I had one that connected Bluetooth to the phone…

BULLSH*T!!




I had the transmitter thingy, too. It flipping worked!

You guys had iPods? Are you like, from the future or something?? I had an FM converter that ran through my tube radio (1960 Olds '98).

Not back then, but I've owned a lot of cars.
Life is good!

Nice car! But I installed mine some time in the early 2000s after i got my first iPod, so it wasn't that old.

Had one of those too. I did skip the 8 track because cassette came out by the time I could afford tapes. I remember my Audiovox stereo was a b**** to wire up because the old GM cars had a single wire to the speaker and I think were grounded to the body.

I started with a 64 C100 fleetside…

I loved my old Oldsmobile. The radio had the "Wonder Bar" feature. It would scan to the next available station and you could set the level of sensitivity. The cool part though, was it also had a switch on the floor next to the dimmer switch. I used to freak people out when I would just point my finger at the radio and the dial would turn and advance to the next station. They'd be waving their hands in front of it, doing everything they could to try and get it to do that. They never thought to look down at my foot.

Right.
By the time I got my first ipod, I had just had to replace my Intrepid with a minivan, because I needed the extra cargo space for work.

Both cars were great and they both had CD players, but, you know "A Thousand Songs" from an Apple ad sold me on getting an ipod and figuring a way to hook it in.

Okay, I've been staring at this for too long. I don't get it.

In high school all we had was cassette tapes. There were no adapters. You played your mix tape and you liked it!!

Then in college, I got a portable cd player with a cassette adapter. Went to Radio Shack and bought a 50 watt amplifier to power the factory 6X9 speakers in my 88 Olds Cutlass Cierra. The guys at the junk yard knew me by name since I made a trip there monthly for a new pair of 6x9’s. It got even better when I upgraded to a cd player with the BASS BOOST button.

In my 20’s I found out that I could check out cd’s from the local library. I would spend HOURS copying the cd onto my computer, then burn the cd for myself. Had the whole 3 ring binder full of cd’s in my car.

Finally, in my late 20’s, I joined the digital age with the purchase of a Palm Pilot. That sucker had a SD card slot and I could load like 100 songs on it to listen on the go.

Those were the days.
