Speaking  of that, I wonder how many on the VV list actually took their   
drivers test in a Corvair?  Kind of the original Corvair lovers   (nuts?) 
maybe? 
I took my driver's test in 1971 in my dad's 1969   LeMans Blue Monza 
Convertible, 140 hp, 3-speed.   Even then,  I  remember the examiner saying 
he 
liked the car and his commenting  that most kids  didn't take there tests 
in 
manual transmissioned  cars.  I would guess it is  even rarer today.  So 
how many  
of us are there?

I didn't take my original driver's test in a Corvair--they hadn't been made 
 yet-- but I had to take a driver's test a few years ago (due to age, I 
presume)  and I definitely used my '65 Corsa ragtop.  I got a few strange looks 
from  various examiners but several thumbs-up from others waiting to take 
their  exams.
