Oil was $18.33avg
Minimum wage was $3.65, and I was managing (ha!!!) the local movie theater/video store, and entering skateboarding contests every weekend.
Driving lessons consisted of illegally tearing around the hills in borrowed cars. First driving was with my older g/f in her mom's '98 Cutlass Sierra.
First car was a 1981 AMC Concord wagon, and damnit if I find another one it's getting a 4.6 stroker with a turbo and some Global West suspension bits. :D
