If I were superstitious…
// July 28th, 2010 // Free Software, Jonathan
A few weeks ago I moved to Québec, Canada. Today I bought this car from a colleague at Révolution Linux, he doesn’t need it anymore since he’s moving to Montréal. He bough it just a few months ago from another colleague who moved to France.
It doesn’t have a CD player, instead, it has a tape deck, which plays analogue magnetic tapes. They’re horribly obsolete now but this was how I listened to music way back when I was a kid. Another college that lives down the street from me has a hi-fi with a CD player AND a tape deck. I was planning to go there to write the Offspring Smash album to tape, it’s one of my favourite driving albums and I never tire from it.
All the tapes from 2 owners back was still in the car. I decided to remove them when I got home this afternoon. The *first* tape I took out happened to be this one:
I was amazed and delighted! Then I removed the next tape:
It had “High voltage” written on it, which is very close to my IRC/Identica/Twitter nickname, “highvoltage”. If I were at all superstitious, I’d take it as a very good sign that this car will serve me very well!

The tape is of course “High Voltage” by AC/DC. I would definitely keep that in my car if I had one!
Just hope the car is an Autobot and not a Decipticon =)
I have a CD of “High Voltage” by AC/DC in my car too.
BTW, Honda is a nice car without any big troubles… Enjoy your car and have safe trips…
There’s a whole crock of adapter tapes that give you 3.5mm audio jack connectivity via the tape deck, just FYI.
HEYYYYYYYYYYYYY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT’S MY CAR !!!!!!!!
Julien never said that to me !! I can’t believe it !
I’ll give you the total story about the tapes, also including the one about the Cinderella / Disney Princess sticker on the passenger side !
I can’t see where the Tux Sticker used to be. Is it still there, or its shadow ? I think it was near the license plate somewhere.
