The smell of leaded gas exhaust fumes. (Yes, it was different.)

Maybe that's why I'm "different" now.

Even more so with leaded premium gas. Very distinctive aroma.

And it was $0.79 a gallon at the pump (when I first got my DL).

$0.05 bus fare. Senior rides free.

Lol. I remember my first real job pumping gas. I was shocked when it went over $1 a gallon. My boss (station owner) was pissed because his sign could only accommodate XX.x (say 99.9).

Who knew? Lol

When tuning a engine required a multitude of tools.....
Plug sockets
A Tachometer
Timing light
Vacuum gauge
Feeler gauges
Various screw drivers and wrenches
And a worn dollar bill held at the exhaust pipe.

Not a laptop computer.

Yes sir!

ABS and air bag were bragging rights. Only rich folks could afford vehicles with these options.

Oh, and under $5K for a brand new Hyundai Excel.

Damn... Time sure flies.
