<VV> Local Corvair - now driver's test

[RoboMan91324 at aol.com]

I didn't take my test in a Corvair but my father paid for a driver training 
school for me .....  Dual Control Driving School.  I wanted to learn to 
drive stick shift and the only car they had with a stick was a 4 door LM with 
faded paint and more than its share of dents.  (None from me.)  This 
particular car did not have dual control and it was entertaining to see the 
instructor go for his nonexistent brake pedal when I did something that frightened 
him.

Doc  (All my Corvairs are stick.)
