I was able to coax my old '64 Bug from 0-60 in about 45 seconds. At times I could even pass other cars, that is if I got a running start from about 100 yards behind the other vehicle. Made it a real challenge to time things perfectly to catch up to the other car with enough speed to pass at about the same time as approaching cars had just passed me. The biggest challenge, though, was to keep up with jackrabbits in the sagebrush. Talk about adrenaline - now that was driving! Boy, do I miss that car. Too bad that I flew it off of I-15 early one morning - December, 1971. I'm still wondering if I survived the flight.

Some of us are just very particular about the conveyance we use to get there! Don't feel bad Kim. You can come too, even if your transportation doesn't involve adrenaline. ;o) On 9/3/07, Kim <kimharch@cut.net> wrote:
So, anyone else on this list interested in astronomy, or will you continue to make me feel bad that I don't have a roadster of some sort? ;-)
