<VV> Corvairs, rare indeed

[Bob Tarpenning]

You must be getting fantastic mileage.  I have a 2006 and a 2007 Vibe and
get 33 MPG on both.  My '64 Monza coupe gets about 25 MPG.

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.
