in 74 I traded a 68 Firebird convertible (326, 3 speed on the floor, red w/ white top and white interior that I paid all of $800 for- ) for a 69 VW bug straight up because I got tired of pushing the 'bird through the gas lines. I want to say gas was about 49 cents a gallon, and a McDonalds Hamburger was still 15 cents. A case of Old Milwalkee tallboys was 4.99. We were convinced that if gas ever went to a dollar it would be the end of the freakin' world- all this while living in DC suburbs with bombshelters in the backyard from the cuban missle crisis days, and with Nike missle sites as plentiful as Babe Ruth ball feilds. I crashed the bug coming back from Good Guys ( a notorious boobie joint in DC) and tore the nose off it, so we cut it up and turned it into a Baja Bug. Big fun with it chasing the convicts through the cornfeilds of Lorton Reformatory back when it was still a farm prison. Guards didn't find it quite as amusing... Bought a 69 lotus Europa for 2 grand after a semi trailer backed over it when the owner thought it was cool to park under it.Seemed like all the money in the world back then! Glassed it back together and drove it with one hand while holding it together with the other. Pushrod 4 valve per cylinder Renault motor with Gordini head and dual 40DCOE weber carbs-high tech back in them days. British car joke- why do Englishmen drink warm beer? Because they have Lucas refrigerators. Anyway- then i graduated highschool....
