"remember when gas cost 39 cents a gallon? those good old days were sure nice times..."

With inflation, gas prices are about the same now as then. But now, my 455 hp air conditioned, electric windowed car with navigation gets 27 mpg on the highway.

Back in the good old days with no ac our V8 got less than 20 on the highway with less than half the hp.

Back then that color TV had to be constantly adjusted and tubes replaced weekly.

These are the 'good old days'.

Naaah, we need to go back to when cars needed valve jobs and new piston rings every couple of years.

Think of the good American jobs that would create!!!
