Hey Vern, Are you screwing around with us or are you a screw stealer or have
you been screwed by those you hang around with??? <GGG> Or...........
maybe you have a few screws loose............ALL Corvair owners are loyal 
trustworthy
and honest .............unless they live in Oregon??? <GGG> Are you in 
charge of PR
for next years convention in Oregon??? Was it you who chose an FC as the 
conventon
logo.............................. What's holding that FC 
together.............pop rivets???
