[@thekingsilverado3266]

I will say Scotty has a valid point here. I am seeing more and more people pulling their old 90s cars and pickups galore out of the moth balls lately. I am this summer seeing some genuine classics back on the road being used as daily drivers. I have friend he played a major part in putting a customers home back together after a Holiday chimney fire and earned himself a 94 K1500 GMC that is not in bad shape. The customer ran out cash when it came to the floor and cabinets in the kitchen and the deal was made. New heads and new gaskets a radiator a little body work and the thing is rock solid again back on the road. The truck was destined to be junked but there again was a piece of what some would call junk but it was in far too good a shape to just throw it away.

Scotty, I had an '85 Sentra demonstrator off the showroom floor went over 290,000 km (180,000 miles) before I had an accident which wrote it off in 91. It was the basic 4 banger with 5 speed manual. Being young and single at the time I drove the crap out of it but I did the regular maintenance and still got over 45 mpg highway 2-3 years later! Only thing ever went wrong was the heater connector in the dash which cost me $45 at an electrical service shop in 86 or 87. Probably the best car I ever owned.

[@komradkolonel]

Great video. Everything is so familiar. I've got a 1995 Infiniti G20 that looks almost identical other than fancier interior including cracking leather seats. The car still runs great. Mechanics rave about the engine every time I bring it in. Unfortunately I had my first big issue last fall, during a trip to Pennsylvania. Oil light on. Oil everywhere. The first shop couldn't diagnose where it was coming from. I had it towed to a Nissan dealer. Turned out to be the rear main seal. Ouch. More than $1000. But on a trip I was stuck and losing precious days. I couldn't believe a small round piece of plastic caused so much trouble. We made it back to Florida and now have taken 3 subsequent trips. Even if I buy another used car soon I'll keep this one instead of selling it for nothing

You could also get the tape cassette AUX adapter for cars. An AUX hardwired connection to a car radio will also give you superior sound quality versus a Bluetooth connection, especially Bluetooth audio from the transmitter.

[@radiotec76]

Scotty, I’ve used both the FM to AM converter and the FM transmitter. The FM to AM converter was a must for me because my favorite New York radio station back in 1979 was the cool station WNEW-FM 102.7 and my ‘76 Ford Pjnto wagon only had an AM receiver. Installation and use was simple so I was happy with the results. I was far less happy with the FM transmitter I used in my 2000 Corolla. This Corolla model came out just before the audio in jack came standard in new cars of all trims. It worked best with the cigarette lighter adapter because the transmitter used the power cable to enhance the signal. Still, it was frustrating to use because even clear FM frequencies faded out. Selecting a different frequency that worked well was like winning the lottery so I’ve never been a fan of FM transmitter adapters. If

Usually, on older autos, they have a 3.5 mm stereo input in the car, that one can hook the smartphone/ headphone output to; as well.

[@stevecasey6196]

I like the cheap way to connect a phone. Unfortunately, my phone doesn't have a headphone jack. However, there are adapters that you can plug into a USB C port and will allow you to connect a 3.5mm cable to your phone. Modern technology sometimes causes the loss of older features that work better than the newer stuff. Manufacturers saving a few pennies?

[@JacobPaul-ix7oc]

The next best solution is to buy a Bluetooth transmitter that plugs into the auxiliary port, if you have one in your car. I bought a Monster Bluetooth receiver from Walmart for $15 and it is just as clear as if the radio itself had Bluetooth. It is much better than the FM transmitter types, anyways.
