    So which of you old bastards still has a box of 8-track tapes sitting up in the attic? Come on, admit it. You're still holdin' on to 'em.

      I still have a bunch of them sitting at my parent's house in Colorado. I also have several of the small records with one song on each side (can't remember what they are called). Also a combination machine that plays both, or at least it did 15 years ago, which was about the last time I tried it.

          Nah...pretty sure I've got some 3 Dog Night, New York Dolls, early Arrowsmith, not sure what else. Have to take a look next time I visit.

            45's? You have a bunch of 45's? Is the machine a stereo that plays both 45's and eight tracks?
            There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

                Yes!! In fact, the machine looks almost exactly like what you have in your photo.

                  By the way ask him about the time one of his many girlfriends broke out all of the windows in a drunken rage.

                  Those were his very "colorful" days, it is a wonder the old yapper is still alive.

                    A Porsche is a piece of ****. The Fiero IS the classic babe layer.

                      The only person I knew who drove a Fiero was a babe!

                      Seriously, it was a chick-mobile. Precursor to the Miata. Dudes didn't let dudes drive either one.

                        I'd happily drive a Miata, especially the new one. They're the most common platform out of which to build a dedicated racecar for club racing. There's an entire Miata class in the SCCA.

                        I could say the same thing about the 914, minus the separate SCAA class.

                        Fiero's do however suck.

                        When I was very young I recall my Dad's pickup had an 8 track in it, with some Waylon, Cash, and Willie tapes in close reach. Don't know if that qualifies me as young or old.

                          Maybe in Wichita. In the rest of the world, the Fiero is a Grade "A" Pants Dropper.

                            I noticed a lot of them in Omaha last time I was there.

                              You weren't in Omaha, you stayed in Council Bluffs. They don't drive Miata's or Fiero's in Council Bluffs, they drive 77 Camaro's. And only when they aren't storing them on blocks in their front yards.
