You're right, that wasn't the best-composed sentence. Allow me to restructure:
"When I was born my parents brought me home from the hospital in a three year old Corvair..."
Ralph Nader's book
Unsafe At Any Speed was published the year I was born. My parents hadn't had the opportunity to read it and the learn about the dangers of the rear engine in the Corvair. And there are photos of me riding in a car carrier that looked like a mini death-trap. It's a wonder any of us born before the introduction of the Graco Snug-Ride lived to see first grade.
