I bought a new new '66' Corvair Monza coup. A friend let me drive his
Porche 911. I was very impressed, but I couldn't afford a 911, and
frankly, the Corvair was better looking than the early 911s. 

I traded it when I decided I needed a pickup truck. I don't know how
anyone gets along without a pickup truck or a van.
