Default Gas stations should be like this...

Came across this old Texaco gas station in a town near us. It's somewhat of a museum and the pumps and retro station design really are a work of art. They should reintroduce gas stations like these and loose some of the convenience store aims of todays filling stations. Filling up may at least be a bit less painful.

Gorgeous on all all accounts.

I'm sure I've seen pics of that station before. Where is that?

Replace the car with a 356 Speedster and you'll have a winner there.

Ask them to check the oil, don't say anything else. Watch what happens.

Dave are you sure that's a gas station and not a scud missile launch site?

I think there's more advanced technology in that old station than in a Scud.
