Older then that there boy attendant!  He wasn't even a twinkle in his mama's
eye and a happy grin on his daddy's face when that machine was made.
Depending on when his parents were together......they might have been middle
school sweethearts.  Yeah toby.....the cars and us are both getting old and
rarer.

	Alright!  We gotta get more Bright Orange Squares on the road!

	I pulled into a gas station last week.  The attendant (claimed to be
20
	years old) asked me what my license plate meant (VW SQBK) and he
asked
	if it was a Volvo.  After cramming my hand in my pocket instead of
his
	face (just kidding :) I told him it was a VW (like the plates say)
	Squareback.  He had *never* seen one before.

	Are our cars *really* becoming *that* old?
