40 years ago I drove 1000 miles a week in a 10mpg 67 383 Formula S Barracuda, for 13 weeks, then I sold it, paid $1400. I was making $13.5k a year and that 100 weekly gallons of gas cost me $32.99.

Today, it would cost me $50 in my new car.

I still joy ride on occasion, but I prefer to have at least one good reason. Back then it was the drive.
