Back in the day

  1. When a guy could open a sh without government regulating and taxing him out of business, or as we have now, being told he’s “nonessential”, another government control feature.

  2. And nearby would be a several acre Junkyard filled with a few hundred beat-up old wrecks where the dirt is saturated 2 feet deep with oil, gas, anti-freeze and other auto fluids. Back in the day I use to walk around places like that just to take in the sweet refined fossil-fuel aromas.

  5. 10 to 20 years! Not in a 50's or 60's vintage car. I bought a lot of '57 Chevy's and early 60's in highschool. None of them had more than 80k miles, and the engines were worn out, burning lots of oil. Most cost me $75. The ragtop was $125. Eleven year old cars.
    My '65 Mustang went through 3 stock engines before I sold it in '73, and it only had about 100k miles.
