<VV> Drive your Corvair Day

[Gary Swiatowy]

  One time back when my 67 Monza was still Royal Plum.
  I arrived at a show just in time to park next to a 67 Camaro, also painted 
the royal plum color.
  I guess on a Camaro that color is rarer than on a Corvair.
  People commented all day about the similarities of the cars.
  And spent more time looking at mine than his...............
  He wouldn't give me the time of day and left the show 
early........................

  Another time at a Cruise night. I watched a guy walk up to my 65 Corsa and 
open the drivers door.............don't know what he was 
thinking............his Camaro was parked a row ahead...........

  ooooooops
