Bruce and the disco
I for my 5th semester at Purdue I didn't want to live in the dorm anymore. I left home just after Christmas to get back early and find an off campus apartment. I went to the student union to look a a bulletin board where people posted apartment listings and other things... This was before the internet :) The single places near campus were expensive but I didn't have a car to find a place further away. There was another guy standing there reading the apartment listings as well. He introduced himself as Bruce. After a two minute discussion we decided to look for a place together. Bruce had a car. Sort of....The car was a junker. I found out later that he bought the car for 24 dollars......I will just say that even way back in 1981 you didn't get much of a car for 24 dollars. Side note....Later on he wrecked the car(that's a different story) and bought a replacement car for a case of beer and 10 bucks. It was even worse. The driver's seat was a cinder bloc
