<VV> and other corvair stories

[Dennis Pleau]

I lived I Davis, CA went to a JC in Weed, CA.  210 miles from my folks door
to the parking lot of the dorm.  200+ miles were on I5 with a 70mph speed
limit.  It was a three hour trip. When the 55mph speed limit was imposed, it
added 55 minutes to the trip.  

Sometimes I took my 63 Monza coupe, but I usually took my 70 Maverick.
Something about air-conditioning. I had a girlfriend in Davis for the first
year, so I made the drive almost every weekend.

If you are stuck in traffic or at a light you aren't speeding.  I guess you
live with that cop in some alternate dimension where physics don't apply.
In my world back when I drove a long distance to work the normal commute
with traffic going the speed limit took about an hour.  I could do it in 35
minutes taking a longer route with less traffic on Saturday in my '63
convertible.  The fastest I ever made it was about 25 minutes on my FZR but
of course physics work in my world.
The trip from DFW to Amarillo used to take 7+ hours but now that the speed
limit has gone up from 55 to 70 and 75 it only takes about 6.  Hmmmm...
