Great thread CamaroJoe, but man, it's making me feel really old. I don't know how many times I've said to myself... I wish I could have 35 years of my life back. shrinkdoc, I think I need to setup a counselling session!
I worked at a gas station from '76 - '78 and I drove a '72 Ford Maverick. The hi-test pump had 103 octane leaded gas so I'd fill up my car every Friday with 103. The Maverick was only a 6-banger, but it sure seemed to like that stuff!
