I tell people that the "Best thing about the good-old-days is that they're
gone." Our rear-view mirrors do not often give us a clear picture of what
was. We tend to remember fondly the enjoyable parts and elide the bummers.

A customer was griping about the price of gasoline yesterday. Mentioning 
that when he began driving it was just 25c/gallon.

So I asked him, "What were you making per hour back then? And how long 
did your car last before it was junk?" Ooooops.

When we were young it was an exceptional car that lasted past 100K miles.
Today I am driving a var that has 235K miles on the odometer and is still
going strong.

The roads, of course, weren't as smooth back then -  so they took a toll
on your machinery as well as your nerves.
