      Inflation Adjusted Gasoline Prices
      Year Price
      1958 $2.24
      1968 $2.11
      1978 $2.16
      1988 $1.75
      1998 $1.35
      2008 $3.23
      2009 $2.28

      So if the long term average price is $2.37 then in 1988 gas was very cheap and in 1978 it was only slightly below average but in 1981 and in 2008 it was extremely expensive on a historical basis.

      A friend had an RX2 Mazda (’71) and RX4 wagon. Great cars, powerful, smooth like a turbine.

      My daily driver is a ’67 Caprice. Rebuilt engine with 76cc heads to run low octane gas. Disc brakes in front. A6 A/C compressor (GM still makes them). I use a blend of propane and iso-butane as refrigerant.
      Parts are readily available- new windshield $173 installed. ’85 Camaro alloy rims. 4 door hardtop.
      No rust here in Aztlan.

      At least in Aztlan you don’t have to worry about emissions past 1974. That’s all I have to say about that. Too bad it’s a four door.

      I was just talking to my wife about her gung ho marine republican family. I don’t care how many times we go over it,I still cannot comprehend how someone with half a brain can fall into the mainstream lies. To deny nature simply because your taught it isn’t nice/P.C . Nature is the law! To deny her is to deny yourself.

      Maybe if you started an argument with someone and based it purely on logic,then led up to race providing all of the necessary logical point’s. Oh wait, I have tried that already,damn. Retards.

      The saddest observation I have made yet is that this site shouldn’t even exist. It’s existence is actually moronic. All of us here,talking about facts and discussing such obvious problems is so fucking retarded. The irony kicks in hard,like the secondaries on a 4bbl carb. It is,unfortunately necessary in this sick world for us to state the obvious and keep explaining to the world that,red is red,white is white and up is up while down is indeed still down.And so, as rediculous as it should be in a sane world,again,I am thankful for VNN and the opportunity to vent,and be grounded.

      Part of the reasoning I use to justify my own comments is this. When a simple fact is expressed by various people,it can take on new meaning. I firmly believe this. In fact I view DR Pierce as a master of this. He wouldn’t say anything new,but would put it into new words. People can read something like a simple fact until they are blue in the face, but sometimes someone else might be able to get through a little better. Slightly different wording and delivery in particular can have profound results on someone’s comprehension.Yet another reason why this site is so valuable and a small lesson on how we can really learn from each other.

      @Kuda

      If you are in Aztlan as I used to be,I hope you attend the highland games in Vista. The pipebands alone are worth it. I couldnt hack it down there anymore.

      Up here we have a nice Irish festival in the rockies. Look it up. An Ri Ra Butte Mt.

      How right you are. This shouldn’t even be necessary. Unfortunately though, it is.

      I am continuously amazed at all the controversy that’s going on over “illegal immigration” (which is not even “immigration” at all, but invasion). Should we enforce the law , or should we not? Should we arrest them and deport them; or should we give them citizenship and let them vote?

      Huh? How can there be any question about this? Since when is obeying the law a personal option? Since when do authorities get the choice of whether to enforce the law or not, at their own personal whim? When did this notion come about?

      If so, do we all get to choose what laws we’ll obey and what laws we won’t? That’s the end of civilized society; and that’s the end of this country.

      Oh. There was a point to my overly long comment about car’s. It is this. Since about 1969,everything in this country has gradually declined. Car styling and quality being one of the smaller thing’s Ive noticed. ”

      Everything started to suck after the miniskirt went out of fashion. When was that, around 1974?
