[Ducati] Aaaagh, you young guys

[Chris P]

I was stuck with a '59 Chevy Impala(283 2-barrel) with
'3-on-the-tree-' and semi-bald tires all around. The good
thing was that would do better than 100mph(okay in Oregon
at that time - depending on conditions). The bad thing was
that at a bit over 100mph, those fins would lift the back-end 
off of the freeway. If you had any cross-wind, it could get a
little "tense". I lived through it and ended up with 2 Lotus 
Elans, a Porsche 911-T(Targa), and a BMW 2002-TII. 
Then I left IT and went into aircraft-maintenance to work
on something with "Substance". 
Now I drive a '94 Subaru wagon.  I hope to start my  '93 
900SS this year before the snow flies. Perhaps even ride 
it. I can still go out in the garage and look at it.

So it goes...

You bet. Nothing like pushing the button and waiting for it to kick in.
