im sure he is busy fighting his smoke dragon furnace.
All that and no mention of biased ply tires? I think you need to redo the part about '78 tires.

It was 'imply-ed'.
The tires were the only gift mentioned that keeps on giving besides the 026 and Steve's password.

Price of Cragars & Redlines today is a wee bit more then when we were kids. I've bought cars for less than one tire/wheel combo today.
Firewood can still be had for free, though.

I miss the $100 rat row in the back of the used car lots..I think they crush all the cheap almost runners today as soon as they can...my best one I ever scored was a 55 ford panel wagon.
whooooa!! wait a minute! you had us worried there for a minute! we actually thought you were going to take a Bahama vacation for you and the little woman. so you will be here to keep some of us politically correct and the others just in check? do I have this partially right? either way chill out with a cold one and enjoy ole man (need a vacation ? from all that A. S. correctness)winter next to the warm confuzzer! ..... lol and "MERRY CHRISTMAS" to you and yours!I've decided to use up the last of my vacation time.
Workin' today... but won't be goin' back until January 5th.
So... if'n I'm in the mood, I can sit here at this keyboard for 12 days straight days
Figured it was only fair to warn ya'... just in case ya' wanted to stay away for a week or so
Lucky for y'all, dad has a couple dead elms he wants taken down... so I will be away from the keyboard for two, or maybe three of those days (during daylight hours).
But I ain't gonna' tell ya' which days... you'll just haf'ta take your chances.
The Obama Administration "Cash for Clunkers" program in 2009 sounded the death knell for rat row. A program that cost the American tax pay payer $3 billion and only improved the average fuel economy of all vehicles sold in that year by a mere 0.7 MPG, not even saving us one days worth of fuel. CO2 emissions were cut less than 1%... and that doesn't allow for building and shipping the new cars. Some studies claim the costs outweighed the benefits by nearly $1.5 billion. (No, I'm not gonna' post links to references, 'cause someone will just post a link that says the opposite... do your own research, make your own decision.)
The program required the trade-in be destroyed... which took nearly nearly a million "clunkers" off the roads and dealer lots. The balance of supply and demand was thrown completely askew... it drove up the price of used cars, and forever removed the $100 (or even $1000) rat row. What was a $1500 used car became a $3000 used car overnight... and the $3000 car became a $5000 car... etc...
I was in the business at the time...
Before 2009 we always had 6-12 runners sittin' on "rat row"... as is, no warranty, priced from $100 (or going scrap price) to $1500. If they didn't sell in a week or two (usually any offer would buy it), we called the salvage yard. And heck, the salvage yard would set them out front for a month or so and sell half of 'em or better. If'n I had to guess, all said and done... at least 85% of 'em were sold and re-licensed.
After 2009, rat row was where we piled the snow in winter... what few "rats" that did come in weren't worth messin' with... complete unsaleable junk.
The "poor" fella' was screwed again... and so was the middle class fella' looking for a good, cheap used third car for the kid to drive (like the $1995.00 special... they were gone also). Now-a-days, what was a $500 rat is the $1995.00 special... thanks tree-huggers.

Oh ‼ And when I said, "Some studies claim the costs outweighed the benefits by nearly $1.5 billion"... that's just the tax dollars spent, it don't include what it's cost the consumer since.

The song made me laugh - that was great!
Thinking about what's happened to the used car industry since '09 is sad. It's true too. Been looking for a beater farm truck and they just aren't out there like they used to be. Scrap price is part of it, but that's down now and vehicle prices haven't corrected yet.

That's awesome.
I thought there might be a high end moisture meter or romantic date with slowp in there somewhere...
Now that's good thinking - let's take up a collection and send him on a 12-day vacation to SW Warshington to visit slowp!
? he might decide to move there.....lol
