And I think the Chrysler Imperial because they had a frame more or  
less like a truck.  Unbreakable.  I heard about some place in Alabama  
they ran a school-bus demolition derby, now that would be a sight.

I drove in a demo derby last fall, what a ride!  The car was great,  
but the carburator knocked me out in the 2nd heat.  Oh well, I made  
it out of the prelims and actually won $40.   (After a $200 entry  
fee. :) )
