<VV> More trunk stories

[Wrsssatty at aol.com]

I have two Corvair trunk stories:
 
1.  When I took the convertible on the Amtrak AutoTrain to the Daytona  
convention (I think that was 2000) as I pulled into line to leave the car for  
them to load onto the train I opened the trunk and took out my overnight bag 
for  my stay in the passenger section of the train and an Amtrak employee 
said to me;  "That's a nice car.  You can keep your clothes up front with the 
engine and  everything."
 
2.  Driving back from the Buffalo convention I stopped at a rest area  on 
the New York Thruway and as I got out of the car a young guy, probably in his 
 very early twenties came running up and stopped in front of the car and 
said; "I  can't wait to see what you've got in there!"  I said; "I can't wait 
to show  you what I've got in there" and then opened up the trunk to show 
him my  luggage.  Of course, after explaining the situation I lifted the  
rear-deck lid to show him the engine which probably didn't impress him at  all 
even after I drew parallels to the Porsche 911.
