I remember being on vacation in California, having driven there from Minnesota in our '69 Chrysler Town & Country wagon, replete with woodgrain sides and a 440 CI 4-barrel. There was some sort of gas crisis going on, and when my old man - widely known as a cheap fucker - had to dish out 40 cents a gallon for gas he wanted to cut the trip short and head home. My mom talked him out of it somehow.
