Remember when you could put $2.00 worth of quarters in the self serve car wash... and it was enough!
I think it cost me $37.50 today and I could have used a shot of oxygen at the end.lol

In my very humble opinion everybody on this site, particularly on a day like Mother's Day... Should utube and listen to the Alan Jackson song "remember when"-- whether u like country music or not, u gotta be brain dead not to have that song make u think.

Back when cigs were .50 a pack and a gallon of milk was .90.
When the girl running the register knew how to count out change and didn’t have to touch the picture on the screen to ring up your Coke and bag of peanuts.

When I first started driving gas was around $0.79 per gallon.

Remember listening to Cisco Kid, Fibber McGee and Molly and Amos and Andy?
My mother listened to "her shows" soap operas while doing housework. A fan in the summer no AC. Screw in fuses in the electric box.
Don't get me started.
Nice thing with living in a small religious town you can wash it by hand in the bay on Sunday am and spent $1 to presoak and $1 to rinse it off.

Of course, we made less money back then, too, so it sort of equals out! A decade later, I worked for the summer at General Motors' Fisher Body Plant #1 spot welding on an automotive assembly line, and I made something like $3.75 an hour, and that was BIG MONEY in those days. Bought myself a TV to take to college, felt like I was RICH. These days they are trying to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour... So when gas was a quarter or less per gallon, we made a LOT less money.
And every week I tell him "That's what rain is for! "

Temperance, like chastity, is it’s own punishment.
"Don't use household cleaning agents like hand soap, dishwashing detergent, or glass cleaner on the paint. These aren't formulated for use on a car's paint and may strip off the protective wax. Do... use a dedicated car-wash product, which is milder and specifically designed for use on automotive paint."
I use Dawn dish soap whenever (and quite infrequently) I will deep clean the paint (clay bar) and then layer on the wax. FWIW-

Remember when smoking on an airplane was a thing?
Remember when the first person in your neighborhood got that magical box (the microwave)
Remember taking trips as a kid and sleeping on the back window ledge - seatbelts were optional
Remember when teaches could hit you in the classroom.
At our cottage we had a cold smoker like @ikapigian, except it wasn't used for smoking. well, I guess you could smoke while using it...
Remember hitching a ride, when it was a thing.
Rember the original Hibatchi grill craze
"If yer gonna denigrate, familiarity with the subject is helpful."
Washed his Mercedes with Dawn too. That, and 25yrs of driving it in India didn't seem to do much harm to the paint job on it!
When gas is 2.80 and you make $15/hr it takes you 11 minutes to earn 1 gallon of gas.

My chili did not suck. My wings either.
I couldn't call my Mom to pick me up from the airport, finally realized I forgot to make my yearly payment to Tracfone in March.
Remember when you could always find a pay phone? There are still a few in the SLC airport, but not in Sioux Falls. I asked an airport employee if there was a payphone anywhere, and she said, "I don't think so, anymore; here, use mine!"
Remember when total strangers would help you out? How many places left in the world would a total stranger lend you their cellphone?? I called Mom, and the employee and I had a nice chat afterwards.
Eating breakfast at a bagel place the next morning, I saw a guy working on his laptop in the outdoor area (he was the only one out there). He got up, came back into the shop, and went to the restroom. He finally came out, and bought a refill, all along leaving his laptop on a table outside, open and unattended. How many places left in the world, could you do that?!?
If it weren't for the mosquitoes, and the lack of mountains, I'd move back to Sioux Falls for retirement.
