## The story

The Rattail Adapter was a cassette shell with a cord hanging out like a haircut from the same decade. You slid it into the car's tape deck, plugged the other end into your CD player and suddenly the minivan had your music. It whirred quietly and flipped sides at random, but it felt like a technological miracle.

## Fun fact

Hitting a pothole made the CD skip and the cassette flip at the same time, creating an entirely new remix.
