The last 2 years I was in highschool I was working over 30 hours
a week while school was in, and longer hours in the summer..
That allowed me to have a pretty kewl muscle car and motorcycle

occasions I was there at meal times..

Of course if you compare incomes and the cost of gas back then
to now, we may have been paying more at that time..   B)
