<VV> How many miles do you drive?

[Gary Swiatowy]

Hate to say it.
But if you are going to get irked at every comment an idiot makes, its time 
to sell the cars and take up needlepoint.
Been there done that, for over 30 years now.
seems you almost cannot go anywhere without someone saying something stupicd 
about a Corvair, or any collector car for that matter.
Yes, they bring up Nader, they comment about the cars being outlawed, about 
them bursting in flames, flipping .......ad nauseum.
then there are the self righteous tree huggers that feel you are ruining 
"their" environment, or the world.
Take a deep breath, and imagine their face while you are holding them by the 
neck underwater..................
now don't you feel better?

Just come to grips, there are more idiots out there than any of us can 
handle, and move on.
