Default Feeling Ill ?

Are you feeling nauseous, shortness of breath, sweaty, chest pains, headache while at the gas pump ? You probably have the "Carownervirus".

Last night, I caught a variant of it; cartownervirus. We filled up the cart at the Marathon near Chitty Chatty and I almost asked if they offered payday loans to cover the costs.

Remembering filling up an empty tank on the VW Bug back in the mid 70’s for $3.00. That was for the entire tank, not per gallon. Just put $88 into my truck and it wasn’t empty.

Your house didn't cost half a mil either. Times change.

My wife myself and our little fur baby rode the golfcart to Brownwood Sunday evening. Stopped at Walmart on the way home and topped off my tank. Over $10.

By the looks of the rear bumper on that Chevy Nova, either 1974-'75.
