I got my first truck and was having a ball driving too fast, tuning and making it faster at least in acceleration. Point and valve float was always a problem and difficult to solve. All was well until gasoline went up to $0.279 a gallon! It put a dent in my fun.

“I remember when cigs were 35 cents a pack”
In early ‘50’s Virginia, cigarettes were twenty cents per pack from vending machines. Actual cost was .19-cents per pack. Change was provided via a shiny new penny tucked under the cellophane wrapping. Apparently, “change” was placed during the packaging process. Presumably the change process also applied to over-the-counter sales.
Joke during the increasing popularity of color TV and Bonanza was who benefited most; NBC producers for the opening “flaming” credits of Bonanza or the actual TV manufacturers. My guess is that NBC and some affiliation with then premier color TV marketer RCA scored a twofer.

Remember making $1.50 an hour (under the table) ..
Now making $80+ an hour - above the table.

"I have a 60 year reunion coming up pretty soon...(sigh)" I had a 70th HS reunion (class of 1951) two years ago and am hoping someone is still above ground when I go to the 75th three years from now...
