if i first mention i wasnt born until 1975, will it make some of you old farts angry?
i would have to say my first real stereo was a car head unit. i just go my license and the pleasure to work for the summer in my step-dad's cabinet shop.
I guess it depends on your definition of Old Fart. I'm 61 and I run 2 miles every morning. Play tennis and golf, waterskiing in good weather, and shoot hoops with my 30 year old son. I do all the yard work and maintenance on my main home and lake property. Being old is better than the alternative,..... being dead! On car audio...I do remember my Dad bringing home the first eight track I'd ever seen. It was a silver box that the eight track tape sat on top of in small brackets and it had dual levers you had to slide back and forth to change tracks. It was made by Lear corporation and was initially designed to be the first flight recorder for aircraft. By the way, In my mind I still feel like I'm 18, but my body sometimes reminds me that I'm not.
