We did live thru those years, we were just too young to remember.
And look.... NO one has a phone in their hands...

Back when gas stations provided a service other than selling overpriced groceries and beef jerky.
I like the pic of the two ladies from Washington fueling up with the giant bug screen catcher full of victims.

It's o.k. Derek, I got the reference as as I was a big Steve Martin fan in the 70's/80's.
We have all ranges of age in this group, so some references whiz right by all of us.

I was probably too busy drinking, racing cars and chasing women to see that movie. The 70's were a bit wild for me.
I don't know anything about it and don't really care for Martin's humor.
