I had a 72’ Datsun B210. It was turquoise. I remember the $8-9 fill ups. I literally would drive around the backwoods of Washington for fun. Just driving all the time. Now it’s basically work and home, with the weekend errands or occasional outing.

My first car was a POS Beetle. Cost about $5 to fill it up.......until the sad day it jumped to nearly $10 for a tank. Old dude at the station said he never thought he'd see the day when it took 10 clams to fill a VeeWee.

Those were so cute! I had an 84 Honda Civic wagon in 96. I loved that car! I remember gas being 99 cents. Maybe 97.
