C’mon, you jerks! At least one of you oughta chime in here and tell me how young, sexy, and cool this little car is gonna make me look!
Or are you waiting for me to buy me the nifty little driving cap and the open-backed driving gloves like the brother in Night of the Living Dead?
Don’t know why it gives me such a kick to have a car with 3 ashtrays, but not a single cupholder. Different times!
Well, I’m excited for you. I’d be more excited if it was a convertible, because that would just be spiffy.
Enjoy your ride. Are you going to drive it into the office so all your co-workers can oohhh and aahhh?

I work in downtown Chicago, so that is unlikely. I sure am boring the crap out of anyone that makes the mistake of asking me a simple question about it tho! And I think they are confused that normally cranky me has been in such a good mood lately! 
This particular car has a sorta interesting (to me at least) history. In 1984 the local Corvair club rebuilt it and raffled it off. I bought it from the son of the winner. The glove box was stuffed with papers, and the seller didn’t clean it out. When I got home I found the original owner’s manual, the winning raffle tickets, a roll of pictures from the car show at which this car was raffled, the original title, subsequent registrations, and more. I’m putting together a notebook of all of this, and eager to see what else I can find out at the club’s next meeting next week.
Got it at the shop right now for a thorough once over. Then I’l drive it for a couple of more weeks before putting it up for the winter. Over the winter, I’ll collect some literature and detail it for spring.
It is a long time since I’ve been this excited about anything.
I still think it’s worth the headache of at least one trip into town so you could show it off. Or you could, you know, take in pictures. Less exciting but more practical.
I think it’s cool that you were able to have all the background detail on the car. Did that particular car come in a convertible, by any chance?
