    My 2000s-era cars don’t* have tape decks, unfortunately. I say “unfortunately” because they also don’t have line in, USB, or Bluetooth, so their AM/FM/CD car audio units are, in 2025, objectively inferior to the AM/FM/cassette ones in my 1990s-era cars.

    * Present tense because I still own cars from the '90s and 2000s. I refuse to own any car capable of violating my privacy, which is every new car.

      Let me introduce you to the Citroen Ami/Opel Rocks-e/Fiat Topolino, where the entertainment system is a literal bluetooth speaker in a cupholder.

      Super reasonable. We had a 2004 Honda Pilot at the time, which still had a tape deck.

      I swear, even ebikes are starting to get all these GPS tracking features 😅 such a dystopia.

      It’s okay. My car is covered in cameras and has a mobile broadband connection to the mothership, so it’s probably tracking your glorious 90’s swag wagons without your consent anyway.

      Anyway, sorry about that. I’d tape the cameras up but then the car complains a lot.
