<VV> "thrill-handling Corvair"--Me Too Post--Sort of

[hallgrenn at aol.com]

Like Dave I have matured--sort of--and no longer oblige that charging Mustang on my bumper by acceleraing in a curve and continuing on while he (it was always a he) goes all squirrely behind me trying to stay on the road.  I stopped after one guy almost slid into some trees sideways.  I just grit my teeth and put up with him on my bumper now.

I should add that this was when my '69 Corvair was fairly new, muscle cars
were fairly common, and I was a thrill-seeking young man (now a
thrill-seeking old man).
