You can overcome the acceleration of gravity with an application of muscle power in a vertical plane, thus producing a low earth orbit. well....it's something like that.
CD's would be better but you'd lose all the romance of when the ribbon would get tangled up in the player.
Has that actually happened to anyone though? I know I have burnt a couple spots in tapes from leaving them in the car player on hot days.
The north face one I'm looking at is more pretentious. The Carhart is definitely more outdoors

Absolutely. It was an intricate operation using two pencils (one to twist the tape the other as a spacer where the ribbon enters the cassette) to rewind the cassette back into cassette.
see, I've done the pencil trick to get the ribbon back in after dropping a cassette but I have never seen it get tangled in a player
I believe that I had a Members Only jacket. It was probably about the same time that I was making mixtapes.
Sometimes I had to stick something like a screwdriver in the cassette player (especially the car type with the narrow insert) to push the ribbon down below the little rods that kept it in line. You could then pull the ribbon out to wind it back into the cassette.
The old beater minivan only has a tape deck. Doesn't matter because when I do drive it I'm usually telling my daughter to turn it down.
My son's old blazer has a CD player and I noticed some of my old rock CDs are in his vehicle. I'm usually scared when I turn on his vehicle because the radio blows you out of your seat.

8-Track tapes FTW. All you needed was a good supply of matchbooks
Yeah, I kinda miss the "Tha-thunk!" when it would change tracks right in the middle of a song.
My parents used to make me listen to that exact tape on road trips. Excruciating!8-Track tapes FTW. All you needed was a good supply of matchbooks
Also, matchbooks were often times necessary in a cassette player. Sometimes you even needed two.
Raining here heavy. Supposed to rain all night. The game tonight is down by waverly and a lady in the bank just said they have a bunch of flooded out roads. Yippee!! Going to love tonight!!
