I worked in a "mini" serve Unocal (Union 76) in high school, it was one of the last service stations in Cali. I remember my first week of driving I was still able to buy leaded gas there. You're still old as dirt Wayne :redguy:

My grandpa ran the Mobil self service station in Vidor, Tx from the early 60's til 1990, when they tore it down and made it a modern convenience store.
