Happy Mother's Day From Car Talk

As a kid my mom would drive me to football or baseball practice or something, and she’d always stop to buy gas along the way. I remember exactly what she’d say to the attendant: “Please give me $2’s worth, check the oil, and please check the tire pressure in all 4”!

An attendant who actually helps you at the gas station? $2’s worth of gasoline? Free oil check and tire pressure check?

I’m not making this up. The early 60’s was a different time in America.
