Well, I got a 96% and I'm a couple years older than Vedder. I worked in a gas station in Marysville in '63 & '64 and Thornberry Chev was across the street. We did the lubes on used cars. I probably drove most of them too but just around the station lot. I had a '56 Plymouth like the one in the test only it was not pink.
I've stepped up to a '71 Superbeetle as my driver now days.
