	I remember one thing that nobody liked,..... riding in the middle of the backseat because of the hump. That was the worst. On to better things and were so wonderful... Being allowed to stay up and watch SNL to catch the Mr. Bill Show

I ordered a Quarter Pounded W/cheese (my favorite) and the clerk told me they were out. What?... just have the cook fix me one. She told me the Quarter Pounder truck hasn't arrived yet. Evidently their burgers are manufactured elsewhere and shipped in frozen. YUK... no thanks! Not sure if this is being serious or not. If so, this is a great example of the gap between perception and reality. Frozen meat formed elsewhere (and pre-cooked in most cases) has been the product chain for McDonald's for decades. You think they could cook a hamburger in 2 minutes with no pink in the middle? How long does it take you to cook a hamburger at home? In 2018, they started using fresh beef (only in quarter pounders) formed in-store in cooked to order. soooo... Once in the late 80s I got a quarter pounder that had half inch of patty sticking out all around the bun. I thought, "Cool! Bigger patties!" I took a bite to find the burger was simply walked through a warm room and put on a bun. Definitely not precooked shrug

Your milage was different than mine. I can't imagine taking a road trip to grandma's 7 hours away and fighting to sit on the hump before the trip started.

	I remember fondly buying Comic books 5 for $1 at my local Drug Store from the spinner rack. This was 1976/77. I recall once spending $5 and getting 25 comics!! I was so excited I started reading them in the car, couldn't wait until I got home.

	I remember paying .12 cents each at the local drug store that was only a 30 second walk from my front door. The pharmacist name was Mr. Bean. He eventually set me up with my very first pull account.

	I remember sitting on the hump because my 6 year old mind thought if I sat on either right or left then the car would tip over... Also remember riding in the back of the Pinto staring at the sun through the hatchback. Which I guess would have been good prep for a rear end explosion... haha
