<VV> Corvairs, rare indeed

[Lon Anderson]

How many miles?
I just purchased my "latest" Greenbrier on New Year's Eve, and it had 88,148 miles on the odometer when we left the former owner's house. It now has 99,940 on it in nine short months, and it was down for about two weeks when I did the clutch job in February, at which time I drove my "youngest" vehicle, an '82 F150...
I drive the '62 Greenbrier to work every day, and even when the temps were in the 100s for about 20 consecutive days here in KY this summer, it was not uncomfortable...
I'd rather drive it than Cheryl's 2005 Pontiac Vibe... and I get better gas mileage!
Later,
Lonzo

Tim's question, got me thinking so looking at my records, the five Corvairs I 
drove the most last year I put a total of 9, 448 on them.  My Gold '65 4 door 
made the 1100+ roundtrip to Tri-State this year and about the same miles to 
Heart of Texas last year, it went to Indy a coulple of years ago for the Corvair 
Olympics and competed in all the events.  Didn't include the Shark which put in 
several miles at the Marshalltown track recently.

The Corvairs are fun to drive and I don't really like to drive on long trips in 
any vehicle.
