And I can also remember a Cadillac pulling up beside my Renault Dauphine and the driver saying, "Sonny. What's that car going to be when it grows up?" LOL Sounds like it could be a line out of Bill Cosby's 200 MPH routine. hehe One of my favorite parts is what could be called "Revenge of the Volkswagen" with Cosby recounting when his Ferrari was disabled at the side of the road. "Now, it's bad enough I have a Ferrari that won't go... but a Volkswagen comes along Doesn't just go by, no, he backs up and yells out the window 'I get 100 miles to the gallon and if a fan belt breaks I use a rubber band.'... putta putta putta putta outta" The Dauphine seems to have mixed reviews but in an article that also sounds a bit like a Cosby routine Time magazine is less than enthusiastic. "The most ineffective bit of French engineering since the Maginot Line, the Renault Dauphine was originally to be named the Corvette, tres ironie. It was, in fact, a rickety, paper-thin scandal of a car that, if you stood beside it, you could actually hear rusting. Its most salient feature was its slowness, a rate of acceleration you could measure with a calendar. It took the drivers at Road and Track 32 seconds to reach 60 mph, which would put the Dauphine at a severe disadvantage in any drag race involving farm equipment. The fact that the ultra-cheap, super-sketchy Dauphine sold over 2 million copies around the world is an index of how desperately people wanted cars. Any cars." http://www.time.com/time/specials/20...657681,00.html Don't feel bad, though. Cadillac made the "50 worst" list twice and there's even a Ferrari sharing in the honors. In the one year I had the Dauphine in Massachusetts it did acquire a few rust spots. When I arrived in AZ, the rust spots changed from brown to gray and never proceeded any further... I guess the extreme heat "passivated" the wounds. I don't remember the Dauphine being that slow, but I'm an aggressive driver. Tom Frederiksen (my cubicle mate at Motorola) would complain, when we went out for lunch, that the engine sounded like he was being chased by 100 lawnmowers ;-) ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, CTO | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona 85048 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | I love to cook with wine.

I can remember 19 cents in 1960 At FGt. Rucker Alabama. On base was 8.9 cents. Off base it was 13.9, with the 5 cent in taxes. Two refineries were having a 'Gas War'. A month later I was in Alaska wher it was almost $2.00 a gallon, outside the gate at Ft Greely.. |

I was even invited to go out on a charter fishing boat on day when they didn't have it rented, and declined. I don't even like to walk by the seafood section at the grocery store. Which might explain some of your health issues. Seafood is _loaded_ with trace minerals very important to the body. I had trout for lunch yesterday ;-) I get sick around seafood. I could eat a few types as a kid, but even those make me sick these days. |

You must have been in a special place with a gas war to boot because the national average in 1973 was around half a buck. That is, before the embargo. The emargo hit enroute to my next duty station. |

The 'good old days' of gas lines. I wouldn't know. I had two weeks travel time and left my '66 GTO at home, half way between army bases. it was mothballed, in my dad's garage for my last year of active duty. I did very little driving in Alaska, after passing the required winter survival training course so I could keep my military driver's license. |
