Watch out! It was 1971, and just had my 1970 Nova SS 396 completely serviced at the selling dealership. I was young, 20, but looked about 16. On the Jersey turnpike, returning from NYC, on my way to an embassy party in DC (don't ask). I had recently read an article (New York Times?) how people with out of state plates were getting ripped off for needless repairs on the Jersey turnpike and I had Florida plates. Stopped for gas on the turnpike, pop the hood (full service), and wow the attendant found a problem that would cause be to breck down soon and it was a weekend night. Stranded boyish Southerner, late at night on a Yankee highway is stuff of slasher movies. Attendant topped off the tank and away I went. I drove that Nova for about 60,000 miles in four years and never had a mechanical issue. What was it about NJ for years you couldn't pump your own gas? You could pump your own gas in other states, just not NJ.
Days gone by
