Keeping with last post’s high school fixation, I bring up the fact that my first serious girlfriend (in my first way-too-boringly-serious relationship) drove a Chevy Corvair, that car Ralph Nader springboarded his career by denouncing.
I bring this up because of a gentleman in Iowa who takes issue with Nader in a way that the state’s DoT really doesn’t approve of:
State highway officials are setting up a roadblock of sorts for John Miller, a Boone man whose sporty 1966 Chevrolet Corvair has personalized plates that say, “F NADER.”
The Iowa Department of Transportation plans to send a letter to Miller advising him the license plates will be revoked within 10 days because of the objectionable combination of letters, said Andrew Lewis, the DOT’s assistant director of vehicle services.
