As a 20 year old, I once chased a friend around his own turf in western
Pennsylvania in my '69 Loaf. He, being well aquainted with the roads, tried
hard to shake the "squid" following him. On one turn, which was blind, down
hill and right angled, I threw the bus over hard enough to gring something
on the underside against the ground. Oh, I had some sticky Toyo Z raidials
on the bus inhibiting sliding. After he saw the sparks, he slowed down
considerably, he said, to save my life. My motto: always make friend who
are smarter than you are!

I did roll a Karmann Ghia over once (actually twice) but that is another
story...
