True. I didn't see it coming. 

There's a Radio Shack in Woodstock VA that still stocks parts, some of it still in RS bubble packs from the '80s. They're not corporate and sell a lot of other stuff so they've managed to survive.

Q: Should car stereo speakers be pointed to the rear for more thrust or up for more traction?

A. On long trips, the 20- to 30% improvement in gas mileage you might get with speakers pointing to the rear is certainly worthwhile. On the other hand, if you drive on snow or ice, the extra traction of speakers pointing upward gives you added control.
