wonderful shot, and I remember gas being under $1.00, but I was also working for about $4.00 an hour

Gosh - thanks everyone. I can remember gas for 89 cents a gallon when I first started to drive. Man it's too expensive now!!

Suzyr - no post processing. The two pumps are different reds - I think they may have been spray painted at some point and that's the color difference. It was raining so I just pulled up - rolled the window down and took the shots. You can look close and see my car in the glass on the pump. I hope to go back by on a nicer day to get a full shot of the station.

I hear you MNK.
