I remember .24 a gallon and Mcdonalds right next door, hamburgers for 15 cents and all the high school gals showing up for lunch. It was fun in those days. We'd go out in the school parking lot sit in my 57 chevy for a smoke. In a few mins a gal, or anyone for that matter, would ask to sit inside for a smoke. Met lots of nice friends and made weekend plans that way many times.

I think I was making about 2 bucks an hour back then too.

Based on the Bud price, that'd be about $18/hour equivalent now!

I was making minimum wage,$1.60/hr, working in the automotive department of a store in So. Attleboro. MA.

 I think you all have a few years on me. I remember gas being around $.70/gallon and mcnasty burgers were $.75 I think. The local mcdonald's here used to have $.25 burger night on Thursdays. Not anymore though. Now I won't even eat their food, it's horrible.

we used to called them 'gag burgers' I think the year was about 1966 when I Later sold my 57 chevy and bought a two year old chevy Malibu from the dealership for $1500 dollars. I think my payments where around $34 bucks a month.

 Have to admit I'm a bit jealous, a '57 chevy is probably my favorite car. Doesn't matter if it's stick or some what modified, love the body style.

Hmmm... I remember a punk kid riding in my Dad's 1973 Dodge Charger to the corner store to get fuel on the weekends and remember seeing $0.589 for a gallon of leaded gasoline, yup I was born before the unleaded fuel change came about.

[Doubletrouble]

 Same here. I believe we are close in age @Mopar1973Man. Gas here may have been in that ball park. I don't remember. Lol

 I know at 16 years old I had a 1978 mustang with the 4 cylinder overhead cam and it seemed like a few dollars in gas went a long way back then.

[Mopar1973Man]

Your old than myself... I would of been 8 year old then.

[Doubletrouble]

 Oh, I didn't buy it new. It was used when I got it. Born in 1970.

Nothing like a good ole arab oil embargo to jack up the prices.

I'm not an old fart yet, although I feel that way a lot of times,  but I remember about 15 maybe 18 years ago putting a clutch and changing rear main seal in 68 302 mustang 3speed in my step dad's car then taking it for a test drive, man that thing could lay some rubber on pavement. He told me a while back that when he met my mom and she told him she had a son, he said I wasn't sure about you at first, but then I seen what you were in to and you reminded me of myself when I was younger, till now we're best friends it sucks that he's getting old now and limited in what he can do. Plus this cv bs is limiting us in what we usually do, really pisses me off. Oh well life goes on for now.

That only works on one side of the nut unless you're reducing friction with the air.

No kidding. Myself and dozens of guys have pondered the reasons behind why refineries put certain requirements in place. The only thing we've come up with regarding this particular question is their trying to remove as much doubt as possible...

Prescription for turning back the clock;

                 Get in my friends two door 57 Chevy with a pumped out 427, blower, cam, lifters, highrise muncie 4 speed, got the beautiful swirled pattern in the dash. With Buddy Holly, 'Rockin Round the Clock', stomp that sucker off the light right . That will turn back the clock. If a cop stops you it's only to get a look at it up close. That was a cool car and good times. And the chicks knew who to hang around with. Not Dripley type ones. lol

I started reading this post and it brought back old memories:  $5.00 got you a half tank of gas, full service (check oil, water and clean the windshield) and usually a free glass (Siteman Oil in St. Louis) and our McDonalds was a walk up (no inside dining) with an arch on each side of the building that went through the roof, usually went there in my parents '55 Belair or '63 Chevy station wagon -- Good times

 

Oh, and a brick (500) Winchester Super-X .22LR was $3.50 -- less than a penny each!!
