   You guys all crack me up.... I remember the tiger in the tank as well We also got the Buddy L fire truck on the Texaco promotion another year. My dad drove the company car for a living and he saved on Christmas presents.

   It's that thing that keeps swallowing my money. But living in the sticks I need it.
   Only wish the wife could drive.

   It's not so funny when you can't remember where you parked the car.

   I think the bullet holes were because there was a gangster series being shown on TV ,might have been Elliott Ness?.There was also the little busts and coins of football players.

    Colin,
    They only gave you stick on bullet holes as it is illegal for Forecourt attendants to shoot real holes in your petrol tank making you purchase more petrol. LOL!!

    Yeh! Marky, I remember that, I think the saying from Esso was, 'put a tiger in your tank', and all they gave you was the TAIL!😠
