We used to LOVE going to the Wendy's Salad Bar as a kid! Today I enjoy the Wegmans salad and dinner bars but they're expensive though... "Sheila Devine Is Dead And Living In New York" starred Jeannie Berlin (she is the daughter of the famous director Elaine May). Jeannie also co-starred in the big 70s comedy "The Heartbreak Kid" with Charles Grodin that her mother directed. Her performance in "The Heartbreak Kid" got her an Oscar and Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress! I kinda want to see both movies and just immerse myself in the old 70s style of moviemaking.

5:20 - The monthly payment on a 1978 delta 88 is more than the monthly payment on a 2018 Impala. Just think about that for a second. The 80's had to be the worst time in history to own a car.
@IdealUser

That 2018 Impala's MSRP is $29,000. The Delta 88 would be $17,500 in today's dollars. The average car payment today is about $500. Back then, $149 is today about $479, below average. I'd say now is the worst time to own a car.
