I remember my brother stopping at a gas station driving me home from school and we put 13 cents of gas in our dad's 55 F-100.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
LOL nope, mine will be lowered. There are a LOT more vintage cars here on the road than in the SF bay area that's for sure! I see a cool old Mustang or truck or vintage Corvette on the road all the time here!
