Pluggers by Rick McKee for August 23, 2009

Our old 1995 Saturn is about that age.

My 92 Ranger passed that a ways back

and only a plugger would think it smells the same as new upholstery

It’s new to him. My pickup is 16 years old, I’ll drive it another 16 if it lets me.

Well at least it is probably paid for!

Can’t find anything I would rather drive than my ‘95 Buick Roadmaster. It is a “Big, comfortable, old-folks road car.” Gotta love it!

Best thing about a vehicle of that vintage is that you rarely have car payments.

Still doing that. All I have to pay is Insurance and 2.59 for gas.

Where the heck can you get gasoline for 2.59? You must live in a time-warp.

Try Seattle OldPlugger, it’s $2.60 at my local Safeway gas Island. and with my 10 cent discount, it’s $2.50. The local ARCO has it for $2.25 You are also a Plugger if your car requires special plates because it is considered a classic.

I may not pay that little for gas… but averaging around 37 MPG with my ‘92 Metro keeps my wallet happy!!! I tried air fresheners, but when your AC is rolled-down windows they tend to dissipate quickly…

Besides, what’s more fun than sniffing up that burnt oil smell after hauling a** on three cylinders (grin!)

Good one Josh. ANY cay built in 1995 is about that age. >SNERK!<

Gas here in North Houston is $2.39.

How about a 40 yr old Cutlass?
