it sure was exciting to see these little hot-rods on the Alameda flight line. Glancing at the
hangar parking lot you'd see all the convertibles with the big tail fins
common on cars of that time, so the entire impression was one of speed.

In our parking lot was a funny powder blue german car with stupid
doors that raised up in the air. It and the blonde who drove it
belonged to the XO. I was more interested in the long legged blonde.

Serious mistake on your part!

years older than me yikes

Messing with the XO's toys can have an adverse impact on one's career.
When I was and IP at NAS Chase, one of the less forward thinking
student aviators in our sister squadron discovered that fact one day -
I think he completed his training, but he went to Kingsville rather
suddenly.

Do you have a "Plan B"?
From Robt. Kiyosaki's "Guide to Investing" :
Rich Dad said, "The biggest mistake people make is that they work too hard for their money." He went on to say, "Most people do not get ahead financially because when they need more money, they take a part-time job. If they really want to get ahead, they need to keep their day job and start a part-time business." p240
Now seeking representatives in USA, Canada, the UK - and soon GERMANY!
