@KA9FFJ;
It sure ain't funny. The sad part for me is that I remember when it was 25 cents a gallon.

Re: The World We Live In
My dad stopped driving in the early 1960s because my brother and sisters started driving. He still bought cars, he just didn't drive. For some reason he was a fan of the Plymouth Fury line. It started with a Plymouth Fury station wagon (with push button automatic transmission), then a Fury II and a Fury III. The last was a Plymouth Fury Gran which he bought while I was at Basic Training.
These were not small vehicles. They were however the perfect size for Drive-in movies and long drives down dirt roads to park by the river at night.

Re: Do you remember these?
I bought my first car in 1981, a 1953 Willy’s Jeep CJ-3B for $200. I did have to tow it home (it had a convenient front tow bar). I put a new (6V) battery in it, changed the oil, plugs, distributor cap & rotor, drained and refilled the oil bath air cleaner and filled the fuel tank with gas. She fired right up and never let me down as long as I owned it. Well….except for that time when the left rear tire fell off and passed me😬. The Willy’s had left hand lug nuts on the right side (or should have). A previous owner either reversed/swapped the axels, hubs or wheel studs so the studs were left-hand thread on the left and right-hand thread on the right, exactly opposite of what they should have been. I was driving from Billings to Bozeman (over the Bozeman Pass) at interstate speeds…well actually more than interstate speeds at that time…(70-75) shhh…..about 140 miles. The wheel fell off in Bozeman by the Park on So. 8th, just a few blocks from the dorm parking lot where I was headed. Lucky🍀 My jack was too tall to get under the Jeep to get the wheel back on. A couple of people seen it happen. Almost before I got out of the Jeep, a person had went and got my wayward tire out of someone’s front yard, maybe off of the porch? about 50-75 yards away and rolled it back. Another fellow had grabbed a small floor-jack from his garage because he saw my jack was too tall and proceeded to jack up my Jeep. I took the three lugnuts holding my spare tire to use as replacements, put the spare in the back of my Jeep, and installed my wayward wheel/tire on with the three lug-nuts. I thanked everyone for their help and went on my merry way. I doubt it took 30 minutes.
Montanan’s are great people, well the “native” ones anyway. With “Out-of-Staters”….it’s a crapshoot. With so many “Out-of-Staters” in Bozeman these days, I wonder if the scenario would play out the same? I doubt it.

Re: What are you guys smoking right Now?
Ok, the first few puffs are overwhelming….damn Latakia is nasty.🤢. It’s been a long, long time since I tried to smoke anything with Latakia. I have some Lane “Crown Achievement”, it’s probably 8 years old now, that I smoked once…once. I am going to have to dump this crap, it’s polluting my house. Big mistake smoking this merde de chameau in the house. P.U.!
