I'm so old I Remember when:

I had a Datsun B210 hatchback in the late 70s well into the 80s. It was my student car when I was finishing college then out in the world trying to earn enough to live on. That cheap little booger just kept running and running and running! It was coming up on 200,000 miles when I finally donated it; needed some work but was still running. I'll always feel fondness for that little car.
Yes! I had a Nissan like that, it had almost 300,000 km on it, I had just had my Dada install a new clutch in it when I was rear ended in a collision on the hwy, I was stopped in traffic, a huge SUV ran into me, hit me so hard it shoved me into the vehicle in front of me, then another car hit the SUV forcing it to hit me again and driving me into the vehicle in front of me again!

Needless to say my insurance company wrote it off 😢 I was furious that little car was great on fuel. Which was around 0.70 cents a litre back then, today fuel is around $1.60/ litre!
 
Glad you survived that!
Living on Okinawa in the early 70's, we had two Datsuns. A basic 'tin box on wheels', not built well enough to come to the USA, that had no mechanical issues at all, and a fancier Bluebird that had problems all the time. Both used, don't know what year either were built.
That's where I finally learned to drive stick, what fun that was over there!

Stick can make most anything fun to drive. :love
 
Our FFA chapter had an old Army truck that I don't know what it was used for. I remember all the sticks in it though. I remember having what I think was a stick for a log range and then when up to speed another stick for highway speeds. It didn't go very fast no matter how many times you shifted the gears.
 
Best skit comedy, ever.
The I Love Lucy Show was nothing to be sneezed at for good comedy. After all the decades that have passed I remember seeing Lucy and Ethel crushing grapes for wine on an vacation to Italy... in the tub with their feet. I'd like to see that one again now.

I liked the episode where they were in the chocolate factory. That just cracked me up. :gig
 
I liked the episode where the fire captain comes to do a safety check and Lucy has those extension cords running halfway through the house! But I wish they would have had the captain come back in at the end when the ladies volunteer fire brigade is trying to put out the fire with drinking cups. I had to imagine that scene myself!
