It’s 1971, high school sophomore, and pumping gas at .29 cents/gallon at my grandpas Texaco station.
Just received my drivers license but borrowing parents car to drive.
A Sunbeam Alpine S2 showed up at the station from the East coast with mechanical problems, bad enough where the owner decided to abandon the car and move on.
Grandpa, the qualified mechanic and antique car collector repaired the car and asked if I would accept it for working the Summer as payment.
I knew nothing about manual transmissions but for my first car who cares, I said yes.
And as the story goes, the rest is history. Still own that first car and enjoyed my fifth SUNI last week.
