That's right! Check out #8! (3rd story down, Thom McKee). He totally looks like my little brother in the video, I must have been adopted.

Some of you older guys might remember the show, back in 1980-82ish time frame i think. Just a weee bit before I was born.

Oh I feel old, thanks. He went home with 8 cars and the amount of winnings between the cash and all those cars is about enough to now days to buy one a these trucks and fill it with the first tank a fuel.

I wasn't smart enough to keep up with the Pyramid, it went to fast for me. But what I do remember was as a kid watchin the price is right in the old days when it was live. It was like watchin girls gone wild. When they would hollar out a name and say your the next contestant them women would come flyin out a the crowd. Blouses busted open, they would trip and fall and the skirts and dresses would fly up, it was a riot to watch. Some day those shows will be out on video and that would be some to buy and watch.

the cars were 1980's era buicks and the like. So nothing a navy fighter pilot would be cought dead in (that's what he was doing at the time he was on the game show). All but one car were sold back to the dealerships save one which he gave to his brother. All said and done he won around $365k which went into a house, car, and stocks. The stocks didnt do well . Then they had me, and beleive me, that was an even worse investment

I'm sure you've been a good payback for them.
