I have a vivid recollection of the view from the back seat as my father 
test-drove the then-new Corvair in October of 1959.  Since Harry Truman 
was President when I was born, yes, I know that I am old.

When I entered college, the campus store had a display case full of 
slide rules.  When I graduated, that same display case was full of Texas 
Instruments calculators.

I drove a Corvair as I entered college and I drove a Corvair as I graduated.
