Larry Jaques describes his adventures:

And I took my '64 Corvair convertible off 4' jumps with my dirtbike

buddies and drove it 90mph on the freeway at times.

WOW


The California Highway Patrolman who sold the Corvair to me had put a
100 lb sandbag in the trunk for high-speed freeway stability. I later
told him that it was quieter and smoother on the freeway at 90 than my
mother's Lincoln Continental was. He chuckled and replied that he had
fine-tuned the convertible top for noise. 'Course, Mom's car was the
only thing to take to the drive-in movie. It slept 4.


(BTW, nice redirection from the subject.)


Hope you don't mind. It just popped into my head. We're not going to
solve the world's problems here, right?


Right you are. g


P.S: Your age reveals a whole lot about your attitudes. As Churchill

never said: "If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no
heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have
no brain."

I'm not sure what you're saying. Some here have called me a liberal so
they think I'm young? And because it's obvious I'm over 35 you suggest
my views are now conservative?


I could have sworn you said you were 20. And I won't answer that last
question. snicker
