When they, and I, were new I drove one (63) for many years as my main car. I was young and agressive and foolish and lucky. I 'lost it' only once and it was on a twisty road but I was going too fast and not "In the Moment" as they say and it was completely 'driver error'. The telephone pole that I was heading for did not have my name on it for whatever reason, because I was no longer "in control". I was lucky that there was enough open space and no traffic for me and my Tempest to sort things out. But then, mine was only a 4bbl 4cyl.... if it were a 326 it might have been a different story.
