P.S. - It was good ol' CJ that turned me on to these in the first place.

Dave, you've got a few months on me. I'd have remembered the prices you mentioned, but most of the brain cells have been blasted to smithereens along the way...

And I can remember when you could buy Hudson gas for 15.9!
After that brief reminiscing of R&R music we had, you knew I was no spring chicken. Maybe we should start a new club. The Dinosaur Club featuring the Dinosnakes. So who wants to be D/S 1??? BTW, 51 since January....

14 MPG in town?!?! Nice. That's what my 1980 Bronco gets on the highway. In the city, 10 MPG if I drive it nice. Usually less. I can't believe it, but my 5.0 with 2.73s is a major improvement!

I've positioned myself well to enjoy the big 5.0 in June.

Yeah, but in 1971, $5,300 was probably a good annual wage, too! Sure, the prices have gone up over the years, but so has income (hopefully). The numbers have changed, but the relationship has stayed the same.
Gasoline accounts for the same percentage of my income today as it did in
1972. (Roughly)dwight

Patrick, enjoy it while you can. It seems there's a mathematically exponential relationship between your own age and how fast time seems to pass you by.

I hope you take each of your 5-oh's out on your 5-oh. That would be quite appropriate.
BTW, hitting 5-oh will probably be your last chance to wrangle neat gifts out of your relatives. ;)

No QUESTION, I'm taking them both out. My birthday is a 5-day weekend this year, so I'll have plenty of time.
As for wrangling neat gifts, nobody treats me better than I do. I'm looking at the Canon Digital Rebel, but might compromise and go with the Fujifilm S7000. (I'm still using my first 1.3 megapixel Olympus - good, but not great.)
My wife is giving me a boot cover for the convertible, and my daughter is giving me new front light assemblies for TFrog. They just don't know it yet.
Can't wait to see what The Boy gives me...

Joe,
I think what happens is after your 18th birthday someone starts clipping a day or two out of your year until you die. At 41, my once
365 day year now seems to be down to about 290-300 days.Patrick '93 Cobra '83 LTD

Probably, but I saw on FoxNews the other day that for the last few years, inflation has been about 3.8% while wage increases have only been 2.7%. I think that's why this "economic boom" the US is having right now is kind of a joke. Inflation has slowed down, but my income hasn't caught up. *Yet economy*, yeah right.
