Timing is everything:
Back in 1973,
Avon bought a new Buick Century. It had everything imaginable except an EPA
mileage estimate, (that started in about ’75) it turned out to be about 12 mpg
by actual calculations. That was the year that the Arab oil embargo hit. Gas
prices skyrocketed from $0.35 to $0.75 a gallon. What really hurt was that we
traded a VW Karman Ghia in on the Buick, the Ghia got a peak of 40 mpg and
never less than 33 mpg. The one consolation was that the Buick could really get
down the road. Unfortunately, a 55 mph national speed limit was invoked…. I
have to admit though it looked good sitting in the driveway. Yep, those were
the good old days.

Rogers once said, “I never met a man I didn’t like.” I feel the same way, but
there were some of those… &%**$#, I didn’t like for more than 15 seconds.
