Coin operated gas pumps! Yes Gas Was That Cheap!

EddyTheDog · 08-12-2017, 07:28 AM

You should be in Europe - They have financial experts on hand so you can remortgage your house...

Grapesoda · 08-12-2017, 07:38 AM

$0.28 per gal when I started driving

Barry-xlovecam · 08-12-2017, 07:40 AM

I remember filling up our 1964 Ford Fail-Lane with my dad @ $0.19 /gallon during the gas wars.

Except that it wasn't really that cheap.

Cars like that used alot more gasoline to get from here to there. The lead in the gasoline was choking the world, and there have been at least 5 wars fought over oil. The hidden costs let you pay pennies at the pump, while the rest of the world paid with extreme pollution and death.

Dreaming for the days of old may give you a warm-fuzzy, but you're lying to yourself if you think those days were better than today.

Oh go play with your ecosexual faggots! You know absolutely fuck all about that era because you hadn't even evolved into a sperm inside your father's testicles back then.

Inflation adjusted, the price of gas is very close to its historical average right now. Add in that the car in the picture was a piece of shit..

Barry-xlovecam · 08-12-2017, 09:25 AM

Those cars cost like $3,200.00 same car today $28,000 maybe.
Granted, the cars rusted out in 3 years LOL that '64 ford had holes in the rear floor boards by 1966. MAGA (again) ROFLMAO

I paid $50 for my first car. I bought it in the late 50s but the car was 3 years old and had only 15k miles.

There was no rust... no holes... the engine was 100% user serviceable... I could lay down in the back seat and stretch out

I didn't need to have insurance... Sand was used in winter instead of salt... etc etc

Here's some more horror for you,
In 1965 I bought my first house for apx $9k and managed to pay it off within 3 years.

I've got a bag of pot seeds from the 1960s. I'd love to plant them but I've been clean and sober for several decades and that includes pot. Plus my tomato plants take up most of my garden.

Plant the pot seeds close to the tomato seeds next year and you may end up with tompotto.

Sweet and delicious tomatoes with the added benefit of a mellow moment.

Cars don't rust out in places like California, Arizona, Nevada . . .

Send them to me, I will germinate them and see what happens.

Cars, like everything else in this world, will last if you take care of them.

Where I live every winter they dump tons of salt on the roads but my cars last because I do the required maintenance and repairs.

I bet it went another two years before crapping out. Cars today are so much better and I think that is beyond debate.

Nice try little one.

It was a 1956 Studebaker and I sold it in spring of 75 and if I remember I had racked up more than 500k miles on it. The interior was a little more than worn but the body and engine were still going strong. Albeit it could have used a new paint job.

Now you can go back with all those idiotic geeks that worship the plastic god. You probably can't even change your own oil and one of these twits that wouldn't be able to parallel park even if your life depended on it.

I owned pieces,of shot like you are talking about. I have changed a transmission and done all of that stupid shit we pretty much no longer have to do.

slapass · 08-13-2017, 07:00 PM

Changing an automatic transmission on pretty much any car built prior to 1985 isn't all that hard. But on the other hand rebuilding one or redesigning the gear ratios takes craftsmanship.

As for "Not" having to repair modern vehicles that's just pure bullshit.

I was there....On the other hand YOU WERE NOT. So you don't know fuck all about what you're talking about.

But rest assure that there was the same disproportionate amount of morons that didn't know how to wipe their own asses and whined about everything including having to exercise a little responsibility for the things in their lives.

You can say whatever you want about the past but I assure you it was a paradise compared to today because if for no other reason was that back in my day morons usually ended up proving Darwin was right. -- So take notice of how old I am.

I am a lot older then you think. All the old guys wish the clock was turned back because they are lost in this world. I think it is sad they have to pretend those were great times. Peodpphiles were allowed to operate without issues. Wife and child abuse were ignored. It was seriously fucked up as a rule.

If you jump into the Grand Canyon there's a wormhole at the bottom which spits you out in whatever time you thought was the greatest in your life, so you can experience the greatness again as an older, wiser person. In your case, only older.

RedFred · 08-13-2017, 08:42 PM

The funniest thing about this is idiots who think 50 year old pot seeds will germinate.
