I can remember dollar gas

When I was in college there were "price wars" on Russell Pkwy here in Warner Robins b/c of all the new stores opening. Gas got as low as 69 cents per gallon. I could fill up my little Dodge Omni for about $5. :24:

My first car, LOL I paid $550 for it, if I remember correctly. Got over 150K miles out of it before I traded it in...by the time I traded it in, it no longer went in reverse, LOL I moved an entire college dorm room worth of crap back and forth in that car many times over. You'd be amazed what you can pack into that little car!!!

Yeah, but being a college kid, is seeing how little you can get by with

I remember. Haven't touched a Ramen noodle since. :24:

Speaking of college...just saw it in the paper a few days ago that they found a dead body in the dorm I spent my first 2 years of college in. Officially ruled a homicide.

Any evidence of sex after the body expired?

I can remember when paper plates were useless.
Soda was good and comic strips with bubble gum.
