Default (Mini-500)I want to build the most EVIL plane EVER !!!

UAW baby! $12.50/hr after a probation period. I was making $8.50/hr temp
wages.


Was this what you were making in '78 Montblack? Wow that's good money
back then I bet.



I was at $8 temp. I didn't stay long enough for the $12.50 - $14.00.
With OT it was a full-time $25-$32K job in '78.

Nice houses sold for $50K-$75K in 1978.
College at a very nice private school was $4,800. $5,050 in '79. St Olaf.
1976 new VW Karmann Ghia was under $4K.
Gas was 0.57/gal It topped $1.00 in the spring of '79.
IIRC, new Ford full size pickups were about $7K-$8K in 1978.

1978 was the first year for the Cessna 152 ....$15K Base price.

The first 4X4 my Dad had on the farm was a Willy's Jeep. He later bought
a Willy's pickup and had the local FFA chapter repaint it. I restored a
1948 Willy's Jeep pickup back in the late 70's / early 80's. Fond
memories! My new bride loved driving it. You could go lot's of places in
one... you just couldn't go there very fast!


Joe..........

Try the new Jeep with the Hemi. . .

$3.65 is high for 1978.

I was lifeguarding for $2.40 and $2.90 in '75 to '78. Arby's, in 1978, paid
$4.25 if you could run the back table (fill sandwiches orders for 4 cash
registers) during dinner rush - if not, you got $3.85. Arby's paid almost
$1.00/hr more than Mac's.

1978 Wally World Sporting Goods $3.25 IIRC. Man it pains me to admit that! Had to get through school somehow
though. Rewarded myself with a 1978 GS1100 Suzuki on Graduation. Also $1100. It's still in the barn with 46,000
miles on it. Can't bring myself to scrap it... awaiting restoration after retirement?
1982 RM465 Suzuki motocrosser... about $1800? Damn I'm getting old! But then again... "The older I get, the faster
I was! :' ).
