I remember getting the new fangled oil spout that you shoved in the oil can!! I didn't have to use the can opener and find the oil funnel at the gas station I worked at in 1968 as a young teenager.

REALITY CHECK!! one day sitting at dinner with my family a few years ago (ok, it was actually about 20 years ago when our youngest was still a mid teenager, lol) somehow the conversation got to where he asked "dad, what was it like in the "olden" (his choice of words not mine, lol) days??
i was stopped a bit in my tracks, and did what i could to keep from laughing at his terminology, and then asked for further clarification of his definition of "olden", to which he replied, you know, like 1973, lol!!! so you see, it really is all relative.
what's sad to me is as i look around at the various car events i attend (i was just out at hot august nights in reno at the beginning of august) the vast majority of those bringing out cars be they antiques, street rods, customs, or muscle cars are all older folks like myself and i often wonder what the state of the car "hobby" will be in the future, and if the younger folks will come to appreciate the old metal (or fiberglass as the case may be) or whether they will begin showing up to future events with hondas and toyotas and all the wonderful cars of the past will wind up rotting in some barn somewhere or become part of museum collections about "the olden days"??

yeah I hear ya...
Back in those olden days when my C3 was lookin good, heads would turn all the time and comments and such.
Nowadays, I'll drive past kids at the bus stops and not even a head turn.....
My son (15yrs) and his buddies are more into the riceburnner/fartpipe thing.
Ahhh, for those simplier times!

I wish my c5 had a cassette player! I got a ton of tapes I made back in the 80's and cant listen to them and I don't have the time or patience to record them to cdr's. Yes I do miss the 80's, it was a different world back then. I had an 87 Black coupe then that had a center console big enough that you could put in 4 or 5 taped standing up and even had slots to hold them in. Don't laugh but I also miss the digital dash board, I thought it was the coolest looking thing, especially at night. OHHHH to be 19 again!

I find that the center console is the perfect depth for holding a few dollar bills, and the ash tray accomodates a roll of quarters. Great when I'm taking a trip, no EZ-Pass for me! I'm livin' in the past and loving it.
