Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Please?

[Hunter Schultz (hunter.schultz]

Somewhere, there’s a great story by a car magazine writer about how he went to 
Vegas in his graduation present from USC or UCLA. A 1963 fuel injected Vette. 
The hottest US car at the time. 

He and his buddy decided it was worth a road trip. 

What happened along the way is a great story. Now dark, the driver saw 
headlights in his mirror, and they were closing. 

With a few beers in the car, they thought to outrun the lights. Alas, that 
failed. 

Wish I knew where that story is.

If anyone knows, please link.
