50 years ago I was close to graduating from HS. Bicentennial class. Senior year only had to go to school 1/2 day. Worked at a Gulf service station full time 3-11 PM every day. Rode a bicycle to work every day. My father had taken my drivers license away for 1 year. I had totaled my first car, a 1968 Firebird Sprint 3-speed. He did what the cops did not. I wasn't even cited. My one and only accident other than a few parking lot scrapes. The following year, I was a mechanic at the local Pontiac dealer.
