<VV> Vapor Lock

[Bill Hubbell]

I don't know why everybody gets so upset about vapor lock on our old cars. You all seem to think it is a bad thing when really it is a desirable feature.

See, these cars were built back in the days when everything was done mechanically, instead of electronically, like today's cars. 

Thus, vapor lock is the 1960's version of today's keyless electronic locks;  just drive your car until it is hot then get out and walk away. The hot fuel vaporizes in the gas line and voila: vapor lock keeps your car from being driven away. Such a great security feature and you don't even need to remember to push a silly button!
