<VV> Corvette Guys

[Charles Lee]

OK, I withdraw the comment ...

It's just that, while the Corvette is a hot car, it's SUPPOSED to be hot.

The Corvair's real "claim to fame" is that it was marketed as an ECONOMY 
car, not as a "hot car."

The Corvair's qualities are understated, rather than overstated, a "sleeper" 
if you will.

Acquaintances say "Oh, (only a ) Cor-VAIR ? I thought you said Cor-VETTE."

When they see it, and especially drive in it, they are suitable impressed, 
expecting a typical economy car.

It's nice to see their impressions turn around, exceeding their 
expectations.  I'm sorry, but like I said, Corvettes are SUPPOSED to be hot; 
Corvairs just ARE.

Apologies if I ruffled feathers ...
