<VV> how may miles in a Corvair

[Lon Anderson]

Hey there little Cliffy,
My Greenbrier will be hitting 100,000 in less than 45 miles (meaning sometime tomorrow)... your "Conza" still looks prettier.

Add me to the list of "Daily Drivers."  I've had mine back on the road since
October 2009.  Since then I have driven it regularly and on round trips to
conventions in Jacksonville, Cedar Rapids, and recently 2200 mile round trip
to Sturbridge and other destinations in New England.  Additionally, I drive
it to regional outings like Springfest, Tail of the Dragon and the Corvair
Performance Workshop to name a few.  This year for the first time, we made
the trip to Lexington, VA for the Virginia Vair Fair and am hoping to make
it to Vairs in the Valley.

Annually, I put between 10,000 and 12,000 miles on this car.  It is by no
means a show car, but very presentable.  I would drive it to California and
back if I could talk the missus into it.  When I purchased the car in 2005,
the ODO showed a tad over 60K.  After final restoration in 2009, it showed
74K.  It will turn 100K in about 300 miles.  I plan to drive the car till
the wheels fall off.  I really love driving it and the pleasant memories
that come back while cruising to the 60' music on my XM radio.
