Re: locker advice
Real Jeeps came with 5.38s when gas was $0.22 per gallon, and the gas
stations shaved the price to capture business from the station across the
street.

Re: locker advice
Hi Jeff,
Believe it or not those gas wars are still going on, at near three
buck a gallon. Theses Iranians are barely making it.
And back in the seventies, fifty five miles an hour was the
suggested safe speed limit. And a plaque on the dash suggested sixty was
max: http://www.----------.com/DashPlate.gif
And San Diego had no freeways until '66, before that all traffic
going Tijuana from Los Angeles had to use Highway 101. I remember going
to the Santa Monica Pier for senior ditch day, an twenty four hour
excursion.
