My junior and senior year of high school I had to drive 100 miles one way in my faithful 1951 six cylinder Chevy to see my girlfriend on weekends. I hope God forgives me for all the gas I siphoned to make that trip and back.

I remember thoes days! I had 396 Chevy that sucked gas ... was a fun car but a ticket magnet. So next was 455 olds and was a little better on gas, but still cost $5 a day just to go to school so I parked it and took the bus. As a student was $5 a month for bus pass. Never siphon gas but bus was a pain and time consuming due to schedules and transfers. I was starving student! Couldn't get welfare but I did try. One day , homeless and starving, I found a hook and some fishing line and caught a fish and cooked on open fire -- I'll never forget as that was a life saver. I have other stories for sure. Today's youths DONT understand nor appreciate what a tough life we may of had. No doubts, that tough life drove me finish school and want a better life that I've had!
