in 74 I traded a 68 Firebird convertible (326, 3 speed on the floor, red w/ white top and white interior that I paid all of $800 for- ) for a 69 VW bug straight up because I got tired of pushing the 'bird through the gas lines. I want to say gas was about 49 cents a gallon, and a McDonalds Hamburger was still 15 cents. A case of Old Milwalkee tallboys was 4.99. We were convinced that if gas ever went to a dollar it would be the end of the freakin' world- all this while living in DC suburbs with bombshelters in the backyard from the cuban missle crisis days, and with Nike missle sites as plentiful as Babe Ruth ball feilds.

Because they have Lucas refrigerators. Anyway- then i graduated highschool....
