Does it count that I was 19 when I bought my first new car, a 1977 B-210? What a rockin car - four speed, with the optional tach and AM-FM radio. No a/c, roll down windows, and 70 hp. Oh yea, and I remember bitching to my dad that gas had jumped to $0.45 a gallon!

I hope you "young" guys appreciate what you have. In dark days of the late-70's/early-80's, cars really sucked.

Jeez, I am old!
Too bad we won't be able to say the same think when we're 53. The cars will probably be fueled by cooking oil and Li batteries, and top out at 90mph......downhill, with a tailwind.
