Well, the amp isn't great, the speakers are cheap, the adaptor is, as
you say, sub-optimal and the MP3 is also by definition a lower-quality
version of the sound (discuss), but then again the noise made by engine,
wind, fan etc in an old car pretty much swamps all the hifi
shortcomings. I just tend to crank the volume up until I can hear most
of the frequencies and sing along at the top of my voice (such as it is).

I'm a musician.
Actually, on this particulr car [not mine], if you play a CD it sounds
fairly good. But if you use the tape adaptor, it sounds horrid. Still,
if the engine is loud enough...

Well, I wouldn't try that as an alternative to a bad car stereo.
Especially if you're driving ;-)

Benny did. Damn fool drumming on the dashboard the whole way through the
trip!
(He used to be the drummer in a band. Damnit, my dad used to be in a
band too. In fact, it seems almost every normal male used to be in a
band... hmm.)

I wish. Usually the cars I get for a loaner if my car is in the shop for
any length of time are usually bottom of the line, though new cars. If a
salesman offered to sell me a similar car after using the loaner car,
complete with sticky steering wheel and mystery stain in the back seat,
I'd run.

That's why there are lenders. Most people (at least in the U.S.) take
out a loan to purchase a car.
