Strongly built: Rugged
I found this while out on a run this morning. There’s this run-down, old gas station situated next to a pub. Somehow, people who were drinking did not gas for their vehicles, so the gas station went out of business.
I particularly liked this gas pump, mostly because the face has been taken off to expose the inner workings. They look like they might last forever. Very strongly built. I can’t imagine that the new pumps look anything like this inside. I think it would look a lot more like circuit boards and wiring than it would look like the metal machinery of the pump pictured above.
I went for this definition of “Rugged” for this week’s Photo Friday Challenge.
Those were the days when you can’t tell a gas pump from a jukebox

You’re so right. This thing looked old, but I remember using these, so they can’t be too old, right?

I think those things existed during the late 70′s to the late 80′s

Looks rather apocalyptic doesn’t it?

I never thought of that. It looks like a prop from a “Resident Evil” movie. Maybe a video game like “Half-Life”. Good call.
