A former Navy shipmate of mine shipped over in late 1967 when we came home from the Med. He took his shipping-over bonus and went out bought a new 1968 Camaro or GTO. He promptly goes out drinking and totals it.... you got it...no collision insurance! Fortunately, he wasn't banged up too bad. This notwithstanding, one of the smartest guys I met in the Navy, officers included. Went on to make the Navy a career and afaik now lives in Hawaii.

Lots of human road kill before seatbelts!!!, nevermind airbags.
