I remember Camaros being way too light in the ass end. You could peel rubber for a long ways, if you could keep it between the ditches.

Tell me about it, in the 62 Falcon Futura I once owned I installed seat belt (they were optional). Well one winter the salt tuck guy must have taken time to light a smoke and the hopper went empty. I hit that ice patch spun into the snowbank rolled the car over and came to rest on the driver's side. It was like emerging from a submarine getting out the passenger's door. Afterward I could not sit upright in the car because the roof was pushed in. Didn't get a scratch.

AFAIK, it is standard practice to recommend a separate key always be used to avoid eventual problems.

I remember when everyone bitched about vacuum lines.
I've always wanted to put a vintage fuel injection system converted to EFI on my Vega. I just hate the idea of being held hostage by a computer chip.

That's a very valuable gov benefit, if true....
So I checked. Bloomberg has Iran at $1.42/gal.
Venezula is where gas is as cheap as you're saying: $.04/gal. Saudi Arabia comes in second-lowest, at over 10 times that price.

At .04/gal in Venezula, the government must be providing it totally free to the gas stations.
Of course, that means the government is deciding what stations get how much. I wonder if stations that are at $.04/gal and actually have gas on hand are perhaps a hit or miss thing to find.
And i wonder if there's a black-market price for 'all the gas you want, right here right now....'
