True, cassettes can sound very good. But recordings on magnetic media deteriorate after decades, even if infrequently used and stored at an acceptable temperature and humidity, and away from magnets. Eventually even high quality factory-original audio and video recordings will become blank. I have some early 1980s cassettes which are very muffled and dominated by hiss, and VHS and Beta videotapes from the same time period with significant blur, weak color and tracking drop-out. Sad reality of magnetic tape... it will die, even if you look after it.

Despite how corny it is, this looks like a time when they still took pride in their vehicles. Now lets just cram in as many electronics and other stupid things in it and forget completely about quality control. Funny how many cars from that era, if properly cared for, actually lasted for decades. Now you're having cars from the 2000s already ending up in the junkyard because of piss poor engines and other issues because of having to cut corners and pinch those pennies.

The 1980's were possibly the lowest point in the auto industry's history. They really made some of the crappiest cars ever designed, not to mention the hideous styling. My dad had a 1987 Chrysler New Yorker which was a piece of garbage, although at the time it was considered a nice car. It had voice warnings regarding things like "the door is ajar" or "low fuel" etc. People were easily amused back then, still it was a garbage can on wheels. The 1980's were great in a lot of ways great but not for the cars of that decade.
