I took my first 2L, a 68 purchased new, and other than tires 100% stock, out
to see how fast it would go shortly after I purchased the car.  At about 121
mph it started doing the St. Vitas dance on I84 because of the air flow
under the car.  Now I know why they make air dams, and not to try that again
without one.
