Posts: 19146 Location: bishop, ca | Bummer we can't see a posted gasoline price at that station (for Regular grade gas, almost certainly). Whatever it was, we can multiply it by a factor of 10, and then apply a MPG consumption rate of 10(max), for City driving, and realize that the price of gas, today, for daily driving, at 20+++ MPG is a bargain by comparison. | ||

There are often other things in these photos I'd like to zoom in on besides the one Mopar. Thanks. That can be done and a I tried. But it doesn't work here, on the forward look website. When you follow the provided link and go all the way through to the Panoramio version, you can zoom in there using your web browsers feature by pressing the "CTRL" and "+" keys simultaneously. | ||

Expert Posts: 3480 Location: Montreal, Canada | Hemidave, thanks for posting those pictures!! They are GREAT! First time I see canadian "plodges" on transport like that! Superb! It's also interesting to note that these canadian-made cars travelled through the USA to be delivered to the western provinces (the photos were taken in Erskine, Minnesota). Also interesting to see the argent or eggshell painted wheels. Never knew for sure if canadian cars had them painted like that too. Fascinating stuff! Here are the larger versions + one more: Edited by soiouz 2011-04-05 9:20 AM | ||

Expert Posts: 4654 | Soiouz, glad you enjoyed the pics. When I first tried to attach them, I was told they needed to be resized, so I shrunk one, but then the other larger one went through, go figure. I'll have to go back to the test area to try to post multiple pics on a singe post. | ||
