"Record scratch sound effect"
Yep, that's me. I bet you're wondering how I got here.
His face looks so disgusted by this.
English face:
"I'm supposed to convince people this is a good idea?"
Gee, I wonder why this technology never became widespread.
I think people in this thread are forgetting how floaty suspension used to be. Imagine hitting a pothole and the car is still bouncing 5 seconds later. In the US at the time the National Speed Limit was 55 mph (89kph).
This seems like walking with a portable CD player.
Like... the Walkman?
More like the discman. Or whatever they called those.
The Walkman played tapes. You could jump around and shake that thing almost as much as you wanted without disturbing the data it was reading from the tape. With discmen, they eventually added some kind of read-ahead buffer which allowed a certain amount of “shaking” for x period of time (like 30 seconds, 60 sendings) before it would disturb the data being read and your music would get all fucked up. I imagine this record player in a car would have very similar issues while driving.
I get that this existed but this picture looks fake as shit. What's that super low mirror reflecting, his giant yaoi ass hands or his tiny head?
