Had? You mean in the biblical sense?!? ;-P

The first car I ever drove consistently was my brother’s 1978 Berlinetta. Cool car! Gas prices - I don’t remember. But they had to be under $1.00, probably on the order of 78 cents, just based on the history of gas prices that I can recall. This was back in the early 80s.

The first car I ever bought was a beat-up Mercedes 300 in Germany (Military). Thank goodness for gas coupons at the commissary - they saved a BUNCH of money over the price at the pump.
