Can you imagine FDR driving a Corvette Stingray?

Jack’s Winning Words 9/16/13
“There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still.”  (FDR)  The new Corvette Stingray has a 7-speed transmission which allows the car to reach 60 mph in 3.8 seconds.  Roosevelt, afflicted with polio, was able to drive his 1932 Plymouth at breakneck (non-Stingray) speeds with the Secret Service chasing him.  But, I think the quote relates to the many changes needed to deal with the Great Depression.    ;-)  Jack
