Ralph Nader

Coming home from a date one night, my head was in the clouds, thinking about my girlfriend. The ninety degree turn to the left ahead jerked me back to reality. I was doing sixty mph. And, I was driving a ’63 Corvair, “Unsafe at Any Speed,” according to Ralph Nader.
Instinctively, I stomped on the brakes, then let off of them and cut the wheel to the left. I heard the tires screaming, and then cut the wheel to the right—an early, 1971 form of “Tokyo Drift.” The Corvair got me through the curve with all four wheels on the ground, and I drove home at a sedate 45 mph.
I was 16 at the time, but I learned a lesson or two. One, Ralph Nader doesn’t know squat. Two, it pays to keep a healthy skepticism about you. Especially when listening to liberals.
