You may be too young to remember the 70s when guys would spritz a
little gasoline behind their ear in hopes a girl would think you
worked in a gas station.

Good grief... did any of them live?

Gee whiz ... nothing? not even a mercy LOL?
You must be too young to remember gas lines. ;-)- Hide quoted text -

I remember them. Wait in lne for a hour so you could get $5.00 of gas
and that was the limit. And if you were lucky you could get gas before
the station ran out. It was rationed to them too!

I am sure Plume would be flirting with the gas station guy to try to
get an extra few gallons.
I do remember parking in the gas station in the middle of the night so
I would be there when they opened. I also had a odd/even permit so I
could get gas on either day.

I owned a company with delivery trucks and we were exempt. *Commercial
plates were exempt from the odd even. *Was nice my pickup was exempt and
there was a station near my house that was sort of out of the way and wife
could normally fill up without a wait. *The delivery trucks fueled at a
Cardlock station, so we could fill the family vehicles also 24/7. *Biggest
problem was we had to get the drivers to put in a little more than they need
for the route, as we had lots of people deciding to climb the fence and
siphon gas. *And steal batteries. *Later we went to diesel delivery trucks,
which would have cut down on the theft.- Hide quoted text -

And aluminum rims. There's "easy-off" lug wrenches that will screw
themselves onto the locking lug from the outside and back it right
off.
