I'm so old I Remember when:

I'm so old I remember when prices of new cars were not jacked up so they could send you a rebate that you had paid for.
I remember when Ralph Nader caused huge increases in the cost of vehicle prices. He was appointed and not elected.

Didn't he write "Unsafe at any speed" in reference to the Chevy Corvair? I road once in one and thought I was going to die in it. The driver went to pass a slow moving vehicle on a two lane road and it stalled at 55mph.... Because it crossed a bump in the road.

It was written by Ralph Nader.

I had an uncle that was really proud of his Corvair and its ability to float because of the sealed floor.
 
Remember when you could almost guarantee that you’d find straws looking like these in your favorite restaurant.

I'm old enough to remember affordable housing in soCal. My parents had a custom built, brand new 4B/2B home, minutes from the beach, large lot, excellent schools, 1970: $109K.
Today, you'd have to pay that much just to rent ... probably every month!
