    Swimming around inside my father wishing for an upgrade.
    This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.

    Was 14 and got my first real job working at David's Place in Montville CT scooping ice cream. Owned a honda 110 and was actively looking to buy a nice 200X. Was making good money for a teenager ($400 cash) a week. Back then life was simple....Looking back I would have invested in some 426 hemi cars and Boss or Shelby mustangs. I still retch when I watch Barret Jackson and remember the cars available for sale in the late 80s early 90s. We had a drag strip in Colchester, CT about 10 minutes from where I grew up and lots of locals had killer cars!!!

    theres some HUGE differences in the numbers you listed. I thought gas was around the dollar mark when I started driving in 2000. either way, ya there needs to be a major cost of living increase.

    1985? interest rates were at 19 freakin' percent.
    Lots of loans were prime plus 2.

    is that Deflation or inflation?

    I was graduating high school. Driving a 78 mustang cobra II and jumping into the working world full time. School is just a memory, beat the crap out the car and sold it, but just can't seem to get rid of that working thing. Would love to go back!
