[AT] History Exam, now kid memories

[Cecil Bearden]

I remember the price increases on trucks in the 80's were ridiculous 
every year.  As much as $5000 each year,  during the early 80's I would 
buy used government trucks and do a little work on them and resell them 
and was doing quite well.  Now, can't make a dime on them because of the 
dealers selling new ones for no money down.....  Last tractor and pickup 
I sold both went to Mexico
