We're getting one of your Canuck stations on WGN.
Corner Gas. It's a hoot.

several of those around Ohio. Some actually still pump gas. The parts for the old pumps used to draw big bucks on Ebay years back. Not sure now.

Know what I miss about the old stations?
The Coke machine in front,with the big handle you had to push to get your 8 oz bottle out. Just enough Coke for a drink, not a relationship. The old statins was our meeting place - we'd ride up on our bikes, get a Coke ( that was it - one choice, Coke or nothing!) and hang out like they do at the mall nowadays.

Reach in, I believe.

Tell me not that you pulled a Blazing Saddles routine everytime you reached in and exclaimed "Excuse me while I'll whip this out" :lol:

How would the aqua bleed out of the beast?

Thank you Big Mack

Both of you have

46z you're showing another side that many of us don't know.
Ditto Big Mack, and you're ability to post these sorts of things...
I'm in awe of both of you.

Independent of you're differences,
