[QUOTE="John6185, post: 3033079, member: 25679"] A great synopsis of your youth! I was poor, so poor that..well never mind. Any way, in 1960 or '61 I bought a 1948 Ford convertible for $25.00 which had a bad engine. I was poor and scraped up $25 dollars more for a used flathead engine and put it in and it still wouldn't run. No more money was to be had and disgusted, I sold the Ford for $25.00 and have regretted it since. If I had the money I could have had it roadworthy in short order but back then men were making $1.00 per hour working and haircuts were 50 cents. [I]I was 16 going on 17 and worked downtown OKC on Main St and some nights I walked as far as the old Skyview Drive In theater before I managed to get a ride the rest of the way to Nicoma Park. Those were some hard days that the youth of today probably couldn't fathom. It was so hard that...well, I joined the military and went to Viet Nam in a KC-135-"flying tomb." And I never looked back.
