I'm just amazed you could buy a classic (to-be) Jag for $6K back then.
I'm all up in the law now, but damn it feels good to get my violence on.

I turned to DH about halfway through and asked if the actor had been cast in a pilot because there's no way Lane is not getting fired and/or deported.
I know, right? Damn.

An Oldsmobile Cutlass had a base price of $3500, so $6K was a lot. [link]

Because books.
What year is it? Because in some NJ suburbs, commutable to NY, 3-4 bedroom houses were going for under $30K in the late 60s. (In the town I'm thinking of, most of the older Victorians were going for average $750,000 the last time I looked. In what? Just around forty years.)

I'm five years old! I have actual memories of '66. Indeed the xmas of '66 holds some of my earliest memories.
