I remember 8-tracks were big in the mid-70's, but by the end of the
70's and in the mid-80's, it was cassettes.  And I think CD's came out
in about 82?  Certainly they were being talking about on the radio
("That track was from a CD, etc.) in 1984.  So... by '89, I think the
only 8-tracks in existence were in junk yards?  But I guess that's the
joke then?  That it was long-dead rusty non-functional technology from
day-one when it was installed?

Must be!
