Hey, hey, HEY!  In high school, I was driving a 1964 Powerglide 
Greenbrier and a friend was driving a 1969 stick shift VW bus.  One 
day, an impromptu drag race out of the school parking lot proved that 
he had the faster vehicle!

Of course, a cop on a bicycle could have caught either one of us...

Maybe I should repeat the test.  I still own the same Greenbrier, and 
a guy in my local Corvair club has a '73 VW bus.
