I still use one whenever I drive my father's car. It's Bluetooth connected now, which does mean I have to charge it, but since phones removed the headphone jacks... /Shrug

Grandma, what's an iPod?
I had a fuckin boombox in my back seat for a while, then I upgraded to one of those portable ipod docks and plugged that shit into the cigarette lighter. Actually was pretty decent lol
I remember showing mine to a friend once and she straight up was like "Oh wow! I wonder if they make these for CD players instead of cassette tapes."
🤦♂️
Look at that young whippersnapper. I had one for my discman.
Fuck you I'm not THAT old
I used to make mix tapes by recording mp3s onto cassettes so I could listen to them in my car.
So the thing about these is they always work unless you physically damage it in a completely obvious way and then you get another $5 adapter. You know unlike figuring out how to make your phone talk to a stupid car.
Lol my dad had one. I'm Gen Z.
I last saw that in like 2016 (car was like made in like the 2000s). Then the new cars didn't even have the casette thing anymore.
I remember excluding cars with CD players from my purchasing decisions for this reason! Should either have a tape or aux in.
