Somehow, I think some of you "geezers" are a little younger than me and had better cars.

I'm 52 and graduated high school in '73. In 1970 when I got my first car, gas was 24.9 cents a gallon. My car? An old Chevy II Nova station wagon bought for $300 (no cheerleaders for me ). I put a quart of oil every week in that bomb(25 to 30 cents a can). My friends' parents wouldn't let me park it in their driveways because after a few hours there would be a sizable oil spot.

I loved that car though because it was a ticket to freedom. Ah, the memories I had in the back of that wagon( more chicks in high school than cheerleaders, ya know.)

Great thread!
