Tighter tolerances due to the Toyota invasion and synthetic oils have definitely extended engine life. I think Ty Cobb might have been referring to the fact that those old cars could take a dent and be repaired. Nowadays they react like a crashmobile and total out easier. Lol The cars back then had great lines. So much so, that Dodge reintroduced the Challenger, Charger, and Demon. The Charger is nowhere near the original size. Other manufacturers are bringing back some oldies too because, like I mentioned earlier, they all look alike. Thought you had a Tundra.

Lots of people never heard of Enco and Esso. Lol. How about Sinclair? ‘39 Pontiac. Now that’s a car!

I think we’ll be in good shape by all star break. Finally got some pitching working for us, except for that Arighetti outing.

Sure is nice to be able to close out a close one.

I can remember back in the 60s, regular was 10 cents and ethyl was 12 cents….and that was full serve. No such thing as self serve. They’d check the oil, battery, wipe the front windshield, and pump the gas. I’m sure you remember as well. Good times.

True, but in that part of the world, safe travel hasn’t been that way for a while, what with the Houthis and the Somali pirates.

Man, whatever happened to little red?

Get change from $2.00. ^^^^^ Had the best burgers back then too. Mr. Burger on Lucas, Village burger on Lucas, Better Burger on Concord (my favorite), and later on, Bonus Burger on Lucas.

I watched the whole game…..hoping. Arighetti has had several games like that. HR on the 1st batter is never good.

Happy Father’s Day to you too. The Iranian leaders are difficult but I’m just showing that a threat to close the strait isn’t the same as closing it. So many twists and spins from so many news sources.

Well, if you did your homework, there are conflicting reports as 55 ships have passed through the strait today. I’ll stick with CENTCOM. Of course you’ll always believe the negative side. Shocker.

1973, I was attending Lamar and TexGas and Shamrock would have gas wars on Lucas St. in Beaumont…….17 cents. Could fill up my friend’s VW and get change.

lol. That’s where it got its name. I’ve seen drug store signs from around the turn of the 20th century that said “Take aspirin for your headache and heroin for your cough.”
