Welcome to 2017
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. |

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 |

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. |

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. Quote:

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. |

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

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.

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

Most people on here never had to live without the internet. They couldn't survive if they had to live off their hands
