Not to mention the $22500.00 for my first house in 1978. I spent more than
that for my wife's minivan.

Michael,
Kinda makes you wonder what has happened to the value of the US dollar
in the years since 1963. I bought a brand new Camaro in 1967 for $2250
and a new Corvette in 1975 for $8500.
Those days are long gone!
