You could buy a Ford Pinto for $2995. My wife had one when we got married. What a steaming pile.
Sig Sauer, to hell and back reliable.
Whatever suits you just tickles me plum to death.
Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?

Speaking of bottled drinks, the absolute best was at a now long closed cattle feed “store”. The glass bottles of Dr. Pepper would be so cold they would have ice crystals in them. Oh how I’ll never forget the taste of one on a hot summer day.
Right and wrong will never change---only people's perception!

Yep, haven't thought of those in years. Wasn't there a plaid stamp too? I know there's a bunch on here that haven't a clue what we're talking about. Yes, there was a plaid stamp. I remember SAN-ANN stamps too. It used to be that every town of any size had a S&H Green Stamp redemption center. Remember Ice houses? Most sizable towns had one of those too.

I do miss the America of my youth. Although I would hate to give up AC.

I had a 68 Mustang coupe 5 lug that had a pedal in the floorboard between the dimmer switch and the kickboard. When you pushed the pedal the windshield wipers would cycle once. I guess that must have been the first intermittent wipers. It also had a bench seat. Both the wiper pedal and the bench seat were pretty rare in an old Mustang. I had a 68 with the wiper pedal but it didn't have the bench seat.

I bought my first brand new car in 1967- a 1967 Austin Healy Sprite. I paid a total of $2000 cash with the money I made that summer working 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM for $1.90 an hour. I was so tired after every shift, I’d shower, cook myself breakfast and sleep for 10 hours. I didn’t spend a penny from my summer job and bought the car before I returned to college for my Junior year. I used it to take my future wife on our first date to see “The Graduate” with Dustin Hoffman. That was 52 years ago.

I had every Evil Kenevil toy made. He's responsible for my first 7 or 8 broken bones.

My moma bought us kids Christmas with Green stamps. 16 ounce coke was a quarter. Gas was less than a dollar a gallon. Mama sewed our clothes and us kids spent all summer dealing with vegetables. We would spread a tarp on the living my room floor and shell peas and butter beans for a week. We weren’t really poor that’s just how people lived. It goes back to the conditions they were raised in. They didn’t have shucks. My great grandmother washed and reused tin foil and plastic bags til she died.
